A look at the highs and lows of Sen. Kamala Harris' bid for the White House.
In May, Sen. Kamala Harris stood before the largest chapter of the NAACP and focused her remarks around one subject: electability. Five month later, Harris would call the issue of her electability the “elephant in the room” during an interview with Axios.
The largely African American crowd warmly received Harris’ remarks in the midst of her slow climb up the polls. A month later she would tangle with former Vice President Joe Biden over busing and race at the June presidential debate. “I felt like it was politicizing," Jones, an African American, added."And so at that point, that took the smart person who I thought she was and took it down a couple of notches.”
Leah Wright Rigueur, an assistant professor at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, told ABC News that for “most of the country ... gender is not a hindrance to people voting for a political candidate.” On the other hand, she said, “there are elements of sexism, or unique challenges that female candidates face, that male candidates do not.”
In her opinion, Harris’ campaign should be thinking about why Harris isn’t allowing voters to connect with her.
