"I think for all of you, being in the heart of the H.B.C.U.s, the vice president doesn't talk about the historic nature of her candidacy - she just does the work," Mr. Walz said, recognizing how significant Kamala Harris's potential election could be, especially for young people aware of its implications for race and identity in America.
"I think, I feel, especially amongst young people, they recognize what it means, what this candidacy means." Mr. Walz's acknowledgment of the generational perspective on Harris’s historic candidacy emphasizes the importance of representation and identity in contemporary politics.
Mr. Walz noted, 'Though it's hardly the main thrust of his stump speeches, for many, it's no surprise why the job would fall to him,' indicating the balancing act of addressing racial identity in political discourse, especially with Harris's historic run backgrounded by complex voter reactions.
"Even when her opponent, former President Donald J. Trump, falsely claimed that Ms. Harris happened to turn Black, she criticized his comments without directly talking about race." This illustrates the nuanced approach taken by Harris, focusing more on her capabilities than her identity.
