A Lot Resting On Her Shoulders

As a vice-presidential “first” three times over, a lot is riding on Harris’ success. Hopefully, her law degree and extensive legal experience would help her fulfill her advocacies and aid the new administration in its promise to address the widespread misconduct in American police forces.

Fortunately, a lot of people are also rooting for her. Both Black women and Americans of South Asian descent celebrated her historic victory, seeing it as a win for representation. Harris has four years to make them proud and make changes that would ensure that she wouldn’t be the last woman to hold the position.
