Kamala Harris is one of the most qualified Presidential candidates we have seen in a long time. She is who I backed in the primaries for 2020. That is not to say I don't love and respect President Biden whose life of public service has helped make our country better.
I cannot express the overwhelming joy and sadness that I felt when President Biden chose country over politics and handed the torch to VP Harris. Sadness for President Biden and joy at the opportunity in front of us. I rarely cry but tears fell that day. I quickly messaged my long time friend and ex boss to express my joy and hope about the real possibility that we would soon see America's first Black woman President. My friend happens to be a Black woman and I felt excited that she might see the second Black American as President in her lifetime. We need more people in that office who reflect the diversity of this country rather than just a bunch of old white men. My friend was overjoyed and overwhelmed like myself.
This felt so surreal and infused hope, joy, and laughter back into our country. I absolutely love the joy that VP Harris exudes. It is sad that the other side can only try to tear her down with racist, sexist, and hateful rhetoric because they know they can't win with experience, qualifications, or policy so all they have left is their hatred and fear. I will continue to pick love and joy over hatred and racism. I am so happy to see and hear from other people who are overjoyed at the opportunity that has been handed to us. I know I will be doing everything in my power to help elect soon to be our first Madam President Harris.
