Kamala Harris – embodies the Future of the Nation

Kamala Harris is perhaps the most interesting Democrat candidate unknown to many until Joe Biden selected her as his running partner. She is relatively young, has charisma and potential to be the key figure in this year’s elections which are marred with division.
For millions of minorities she represents such hope who even does not need to give up imaginations of how they can walk up the ladder of American politics.

Who is Kamala Harris born?

As Kamala Harris is advancing further as a presidential hopeful, one interesting aspect about her is Bay Area where she grew up and which some how made her what she is today.

Kamala Harris was born at Kaiser Oakland which is few blocks from UC Berkeley and People’s Park which is now considered as the center of radical movements. She lived in an apartment facility on Bancroft Way in working-class flatlands attended Berkeley public schools (A controversy cause an issue for Biden she was bused to Thousand Oaks Elementary School for desegregation of elementary schools in the city).

But even as she has strong links to Oakland and Berkeley, Harris’s style of politics is somewhat unique for it is more on the center side rather than the leftist side, and quite frequently she turns to voters who do not reside in progressive strongholds. She is not an ideologue, and in this regard she zeroes in on the ‘3am calendar,’ the issues that are so much of a problem to the electorates that most of them cannot sleep. This includes her perspective on the need of criminal justice reform. And, towards this goal, she has built up a reputation of being a hard-nosed prosecutor, especially of those who commit domestic violence or abuse children.

Hails From San Francisco

The Democratic Party has put a lot of emphasis on Harris being the first woman and woman of color to potentially be their presidential candidate. Her growing up in the Bay Area region contributed a bit to that. Sent to Thousand Oaks Elementary School as part of the city’s desegregation initiative and later on tested by the brutalistic cutthroat nature of local politics in San Francisco; being in such towns had a lasting influence in her political outlook.

Harris’s early life history served to buttress her conviction that injustice should be fought and that injustice could only be defeated in the community, the neighborhood and everyone had a role to play. The activism and arts of the town also changed her as she assumed various positions as a community activist, including the fight to landmark the house she grew up in.

But it was Harris’s story as a top prosecutor and then the top law enforcement officer for California that made some people raise concerns about some of the decisions she made, including her view on the reform of the criminal justice system. As many democratic-socialist activists said, Harris made a fake move to tough-on-crime policies, but these policies drama queen, she was into the impact of her decisions over people who are suffering the most of these consequences.

Served as California’s attorney general

While prosecuting, Harris became known as a hardliner on crimes like human trafficking and organized crime and did not respond to calls of getting rid of capital punishment. But she continued to stay muted on the political skirmishes that raged barely within a radius of a few blocks at the California State Capitol. When she was asked to express an opinion on a proposal that would mandate her office to look into police involved shooting, she refused to do so. The bill was enacted through the other end as a result.

In 2010, a controversy in a whole state regarding changes to the criminal justice system emerged. Harris supported a law allowing prosecutors to penalize parents whose children regularly missed school. This was rather restrictive as it penalized low-income and black and Latino families.

In her second term, she also started to look into issues of consumer interest. She settled litigation for billions of dollars in claims from banks that duped homeowners during the mortgage crisis and for-profit colleges that rude students and veterans. Also, she placed an emphasis on privacy issues and assisted consumers in combating data abuse.

Recieved election to U.S. Senate & became active there.

She was a prominent person in the Democratic ticket after Biden pulled out which boosted the morale of the Democrats who wondered whether she would be part of breaking the some of the highest glass ceilings in the US politics. The former prosecutor and now a senator has been on government side for long but her campaign has not been smooth sailing.

She comes across a strong fighter for Trump in contested states but she has had a hard time getting through the Democratic establishment and the electorate outside the party core. She has a vast support base among Black voters which allows her to capture important states such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.

In the first round of her election as the Monterey County attorney general, Harris was able to receive billions of dollars in settlements from oil corporations and was able to hold other offenders to account. The huge loans that Harris has been able to successfully take out throughout the spell will allow her to easily fund her campaigns put in place strategies to assist the middle class. In addition, her campaign also promised to reduce the unnecessary costs of drugs which are raise by pharmacy middlemen. She will also aim at strengthening our economy and safeguarding all our nearest neighbors who are in dire need of loans. A good number of foreclosures were witnessed in the previous years and the economy is still recovering if not completely recovered.

Confirmed her intentions for presidency

When Harris made the announcement of her candidacy in California for the presidential post and requested for votes, there was absolute optimism in the air. During her career, she has been an excellent prosecutor, fits well on the Judiciary Committee, and has a knack for drama by delivering fierce questions to Trump’s nominees including Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Meanwhile, operational turbulence across the campaign began to take shape. Reported battles on the campaign emerged such as opposition of Harris’s staff and two informal power structures which were believed to be mutually exclusive. And then when the primaries were heating up, Harris’s numbers considerably dropped in polls and she did deteriorate in the race preferring moderates like Buttigeig and Biden.

Banning or abolishing guns and abortion are the issues that she pursues with all her strength including fighting against the Trump government. She is also a strong supporter of women and minorities. In regard to economic policy, she is not aligned with Biden, supporting a more ‘populist’ approach that calls for a moratorium on junk fees as well as drug price controls, tax rebates for the middle classes, and affordable housing. She supports military support to Ukraine and Israel, and the implementation of the two-state solution in Gaza and her foreign policy complements her domestic platform.
