In more than two centuries of democracy, American voters have elected only one Black president and never a woman, a record that makes even some Black voters wonder if Harris can crash through the hardest ceiling in U.S. politics.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Will her race and gender be an issue? Absolutely,&#8221; said LaTosha Brown, a political strategist and co-founder of the Black Voters Matter Fund. Harris would face other big challenges: if promoted to the top of the ticket, she would have barely three months to campaign and unite the party and donors behind her.<\/p>\n<p>Some three dozen Democratic lawmakers have voiced fears that President Joe Biden, 81, will lose an election that the party has cast as a battle for the future of U.S. democracy because he lacks the mental and physical stamina to win and serve four more years.<\/p>\n<p>Many fear Trump and the Republicans could not only take the White House, but both houses of Congress.<br \/>\nBiden said again on Friday that he would not step aside and would resume campaigning after he recovers from COVID-19. Harris pressed the case for his re-election on Saturday at a fundraiser. Harris, 59, is two decades younger than Trump and a leader in the party on abortion rights, an issue which resonates with younger voters and Democrats&#8217; progressive base. Proponents argue she would energize those voters, consolidate Black support, and bring sharp debating skills to prosecute the political case against the former president.<\/p>\n<p>Her candidacy would offer a contrast with Trump and his vice presidential running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, the two white men on the Republican ticket, Brown said.&#8221;That to me is reflective of America&#8217;s past. She is reflective of America&#8217;s now and future,&#8221; Brown said.But despite earning praise in the last few weeks for her strong defense of Biden, some Democrats remain concerned about Harris&#8217; shaky first two years in office, short-lived campaign for the 2020 Democratic nomination, and &#8211; perhaps most of all &#8211; the weight of a long history of racial and gender discrimination in the United States.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/with-kamala-harris-democrats-would-bet-against-us-history-sexism-racism-2024-07-21\/\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source:<a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/with-kamala-harris-democrats-would-bet-against-us-history-sexism-racism-2024-07-21\/\"> Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/with-kamala-harris-democrats-would-bet-against-us-history-of-sexism-racism\/\">With Kamala Harris, Democrats would bet against US history of sexism, racism<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,13650,574],"class_list":["post-132524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-kamala-harris","tag-us"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132524"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132524\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
