Like Selina Meyer, Kamala Harris is closer than ever to becoming the first woman president - and may have more factors in her favour than previous vice presidents vying for the White House.
Audiences for Veep, the TV series broadcast on Sky, have shot up since Kamala Harris became the Democratic candidate for the White House. Like Selina Meyer, the fictional vice president in the show, she is closer than ever to becoming the first woman president. The prospect is tantalising for Harris but the omens are not all good. It is true that of the 46 presidents in US history so far, 15 served before as a vice president.
Otherwise he will be remembered as a stubborn old man who should have stood aside much earlier. With only 100 days to go until the election, Harris has been endorsed by all leading Democrats including the Clintons and the Bidens. She is heading into the Democratic Party convention next month in Chicago with millions of dollars of campaign donations flowing again and having already secured enough delegates to guarantee nomination.
