The prospect of the vice president replacing Joe Biden on the 2024 ticket would be much easier if the vice president were a white guy...In electoral politics, race and gender work overwhelmingly to the benefit of white men.
A Harris win would usher the first woman, and the first woman of color, into the presidency-a history-making possibility, and a deeply exciting one.
I genuinely believed that Americans would watch Trump sputter incoherent nonsense, go on racist and misogynist rants, and demean his female rival, and they would watch Clinton put forward lucid, reasoned policy proposals and approach the office of the presidency with the dignity and respect it deserved, and that victory would be easy for her.
