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.

        Here it is folks. The left is the only group that has an issue with treating everyone the same. That means that the right has no issues on that front according to this lemmy.ml user.

        I would suggest blocking them completely as I have done. Their misdirection was fairly well done until the comment above so it’s best not to let them trap you in the future.

          Then why have you not blocked me? If I said I was a black woman would it be racist and sexist to block me?
