She’s already broken barriers, and now Kamala Harris could soon become the first Black woman and the first person of South Asian descent to head a major party's presidential ticket after President Joe Biden’s ended his reelection bid.

She’s already broken barriers, and now Kamala Harris could shatter several more after President Joe Biden abruptly ended his reelection bid and endorsed her.

Biden announced Sunday that he was stepping aside after a disastrous debate performance catalyzed fears that the 81-year-old was too frail for a second term.

Harris is the first woman, Black person or person of South Asian descent to serve as vice president. If she becomes the Democratic nominee and defeats Republican candidate Donald Trump in November, she would be the first woman to serve as president.

Biden said Sunday that choosing Harris as his running mate was “the best decision I’ve made” and endorsed her as his successor.

    I fear a Harris win. Not because I don’t want her to win. But because if the likes of Trump was the conservative response to Obama… I can’t fathom the horrible person they will come up with in response to Kamala.

      Let’s shine a light on that. Force “moderate” conservatives to come out and admit that they’re just racists and nothing more. They’re cowards first and foremost.

      This is a tribal affiliation game, let’s put what their tribe really stands for on blast so they lose social status. Their only friends should be other Nazis. There’s a lot of people on the fence who just want to be popular.
