WHO IS KAMALA HARRIS
There is a possibility that the DNC will select Kamala Harris to replace Biden as the Democratic nominee, opposing Donald Trump. What does the American Electorate know about Harris?
I lived in San Francisco for eight years, between 1995 and 2003. Harris began her political career in 1990 when she was hired as deputy attorney general in Alameda County, a suburb of SF.
Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, dating Harris, then appointed her Attorney General. He then appointed Harris to several other California jobs, such as the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and the Medical Assistance Commission.
Harris's connection to Brown was noted in SF media reports, which reported a pattern of Californian political leaders appointing "friends and loyal political soldiers" to lucrative commission positions.
To judge Harris or any politician seeking the presidency, one must consider their education, accomplishments in whatever public and private office they held, their positions on issues, and character.
Harris has not accomplished much in her life, beginning with her education. She graduated from Howard University College and Law School, schools rated below average in the US, where her class ranking in college and law schools was low. Her success in entering politics was a relationship with Willie Brown, who was married and may or may not have been sexually involved with her. Brown was 56 when he met Harris, who was 26 in 1990.
It appears that her actions in the various positions she held were to pursue racial injustice. While this is notable, it did not appear that her actions accomplished anything of value. During her three and a half years in the White House, she has been viewed as holding the job of VP because of gender and ethnicity, not ability or outstanding character.
This resume does not suggest she is the best candidate the Democrats have for the presidency. Many outstanding Democrats should rank ahead of Harris for the presidency.
