'Sen. Kamala Harris held her ground at the VPDebate, was firm without falling into any of the traps that could tack her to labels — emotional, angry, nasty — reserved for women, especially Black women,' BrandonTensley writes. | Analysis
Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris' very presence on the plexiglass-partitioned stage on Wednesday night was historic: In August, she became the first Black and South Asian woman, as well as the first graduate of a historically Black college or university, to be chosen as a major party candidate's running mate.Once again, Black Americans weren't just the backbone of the Democratic Party. They were the face of it, too.
Later, Harris repeated her memorable line.Pence claimed that Democratic nominee Joe Biden would raise taxes immediately upon assuming office. As Harris launched into her rejoinder --"I thought we saw enough of it in last week's debate, but I think this is supposed to be a debate based on fact and truth," she said -- Pence attempted to butt in."Mr. Vice President, I'm speaking." Harris said, as she smiled and shook her head.
