Angle: The US Democratic Party will challenge racism and sexism in a historic gamble if Harris is nominated
2024/7/22 6:41 PM GMT+9 (some excerpts)
If the US Democratic Party nominates Vice President Harris as a successor candidate to President Biden, who announced his withdrawal from the November presidential election, it will be a historic bet.
This is because they will bet on a scenario where Mr. Harris, who is black, female, and South Asian, overcomes barriers of racism, sexism, and lack of track record as a politician and defeats former President Trump of the Republican Party.
In the history of democracy over the past two centuries in the United States, only Barack Obama was elected by voters as a black person as president. A woman has never been elected president. Hillary Clinton, who became the first female presidential candidate in a major political party, lost to Mr. Trump in the 2016 presidential election.
