Former U.S. Senator Carol Moseley-Braun joined Scripps News' “Morning Rush” on Monday to discuss the historical significance of Harris’ campaign for national office.
If Vice President Kamala Harris were to secure the Democratic nomination for president, she would become the first Black woman and first person of South Asian descent to do so — and she would carry those historical firsts with her to the White House if she were to be elected as president.
Moseley-Braun was also the U.S. Ambassador to New Zealand from 1999 to 2001 and ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination for president in 2004. She recently published a memoir titled"Trailblazer: Perseverance in Life and Politics." RELATED STORY | Kamala Harris honors President Biden at event, says his legacy is 'unmatched in modern history'
