She Doesn’t Want To Be Known As The “Female Obama”
Harris likely accepted his apology due to their long-standing friendship. They’ve been cordial with each other dating back to 2004 when Obama ran for Senate. It’s also worth noting that she was the first California officeholder to endorse him in 2008 when he ran for president.
However, Harris maintains that she isn’t a fan of being dubbed as the “female Obama” due to their similarities. She said that she wants to leave her own mark when asked about carrying on what Obama started during his time in the White House.
