His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

By next year, the U.S. will be engaged in a mass vaccination campaign, the groundwork for which has been laid under the Trump administration. Although the vaccines appear very promising, and no effort has been spared to plan for their distribution, it’s impossible to tell yet how well things will go when it’s time to get shots in the arms of millions of Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The core components of HHS are the boots on the ground of the government’s coronavirus response.

I mean, all these things have to be factored in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So too does \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-11-07/kamala-harris-successor-california-senator\">electability\u003c/a>: Newsom’s appointee will be up for reelection in 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, Newsom said it was not a decision he relished, acknowledging that some people will be unhappy with whoever he appoints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past month, pressure and lobbying have only grown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it would be a tremendous mistake to replace Kamala Harris with a man,” said Aimee Allison, founder of She the People, which supports more political representation for women of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To her, not appointing a Black woman to replace Harris — who made history as the first Black person to represent California in the Senate — would be backsliding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If he does not, then what we have is a Senate with zero black women representation. And really, it’s that stark and it’s that serious,” Allison said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Allison sees it, Newsom has two great choices in Barbara Lee and Karen Bass, two Black congresswomen who know Capitol Hill well and would hit the ground running on day one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just identity, it’s readiness to lead; who will be ready in the Senate on day one,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allison said Newsom should appoint someone who will fight for the issues Harris championed, such as criminal justice reform and Black maternal health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel very strongly that without a vocal advocate in the Senate, that Black women in our broader communities are at more risk,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom is also under pressure from other communities. Jacqueline Martinez Garcel, CEO of the Latino Community Foundation in San Francisco, is part of a coalition pushing the governor to make history by naming the state’s first Latino senator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s about time that we have representation for the largest ethnic group in the state in the U.S. Senate,” Martinez Garcel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just having a Latino. It’s someone who understands the immigrant experience here in California, what it’s like to be part of a farmworker community and family and bring that voice and that representation to the U.S. Senate floor. That’s what matters,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]One person who could fit that bill is Alex Padilla, California’s secretary of state. Padilla is the son of immigrants from Mexico and a long-time Newsom ally. Some political analysts say Padilla has the inside track, and picking him would give Newsom a second big appointment — someone to fill out the rest of Padilla’s term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The only thing better than collecting a large political IOU as governor is collecting two very large political IOUs,” said political analyst Dan Schnur, who teaches at UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If he appointed Padilla or [California] Attorney General Xavier Becerra, if he were to appoint the state controller, Betty Yee, or the state treasurer, Fiona Ma, he would be able to then appoint their replacements to those statewide offices, make history twice and collect two big political chits along the way,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schnur worked for Pete Wilson, the last California governor to name a U.S. Senator. Wilson, a Republican, was a senator himself when he was elected governor in 1990, giving him the opportunity to name his own replacement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schnur says during his gubernatorial campaign, Wilson promised to name a successor who was a pro-choice Republican, which significantly limited his options.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11846513,news_11846531,forum_2010101880754\"]“Otherwise, Wilson would have more than likely appointed someone with a much broader base of support and network statewide,” Schnur said, as opposed to the person he chose, a little-known state senator from Orange County named John Seymour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seymour went on to lose that seat to Dianne Feinstein two years later. Of course, California was a very different place back then, and Schnur says one thing is certain about whoever Newsom picks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the one safe bet to make is I am more likely to start as quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers than Gavin Newsom is to pick a white man to fill that Senate seat,” he joked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, while some high-profile officials, like Congressman Adam Schiff, a white man, might make good senators, it just doesn’t look like now is their time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While different people are advocating for different appointments, there is also a sense of reluctance to pit one community against another while lobbying Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not a moment where communities need to be fighting with each other, but really looking fully at how we can make sure that there is fair representation,” Allison said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to Feinstein’s\u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/states/california/story/2020/12/02/feinstein-backs-padilla-for-harris-seat-1339951\"> announcement this week\u003c/a> that she would support Padilla as Harris’ replacement, Allison suggested that the 87-year-old senator step down herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Her politics are old-fashioned and out of step with who we are. She believes that the seat should be filled with someone other than a Black woman? I think she should be ready to give up her seat and advocate for that,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris won’t officially vacate her seat until she is sworn in as vice president on Jan. 20. But, says Martinez Garcel of the Latino Community Foundation, time is not Newsom’s friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The longer he waits, the harder it’s going to get. And he’s very diplomatic and he’s going to piss more people off and we know that’s not something that he likes to do,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a governor dealing with a surging COVID-19 pandemic, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11847570/gov-newsom-went-to-party-violated-own-virus-rules\">French Laundry dining faux pas\u003c/a> and various other crises, Newsom could use the appointment to change the subject.

Gavin Newsom would choose to fill out the rest of Kamala Harris's U.S. Senate term began almost the moment President-elect Joe Biden announced her as his running mate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that Harris is Vice President-elect, filling her Senate seat is not a matter of if, but who and when. And what are the qualities Newsom should consider as he makes his most important political decision yet as governor? Newsom's considerations include diversity, geography, electability and political compatibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked on Election Day about the possibility of choosing a successor, Newsom insisted he was not looking forward to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I mean, honestly, I'm not even exaggerating. There's a hundred chores that I'd prefer. I'm not kidding,\" Newsom joked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is not something that I wish even on my worst enemy, because you create enemies in this process you know, not just friends. And it's a vexing decision. It's a challenging one,\" Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the U.S. Constitution, governors have the power to fill U.S. Senate seats vacated by death, resignation or election to another office. In this case, Harris, who was elected to her first term in 2016, would be up for reelection in 2022, so whomever Newsom chooses will have a couple of years under their belt before running.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Diversity is a given,\" said Newsom's longtime advisor\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>Nathan Ballard. \"It's not going to be someone who looks like Gavin,\" meaning not a straight white male.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1325120141185540097\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current moment, after George Floyd's death and Harris's focus on rooting racial bias out of the criminal justice system would seem to rule out likely Senate aspirants such as Rep. Adam Schiff, at least at this time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Considering aloud the possibilities for a replacement recently, Newsom noted that \"you've got people that voted for Kamala Harris. And so is it (someone) in her image? Do you sort of extend that narrative?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I mean, that's all these questions have to be worked through. Is it a caretaker, or someone who can turnaround a win? Is it someone that's qualified that may not win but would be?,\" Newsom asked rhetorically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So who makes the shortlist?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Gov.

Would Newsom want to replace her with someone who fits that criteria? In that case, the governor has solid options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One Bay Area mayor fits the bill, San Francisco's \u003cstrong>London Breed\u003c/strong>, who's won high marks for her handling of the coronavirus pandemic. \u003cstrong>Mayor\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>Libby Schaaf\u003c/strong> in Oakland, who is white, also has made a name for herself.

And as former Speaker of the State Assembly Bass is known as an effective legislator who worked across party lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Bakersfield, who worked with Bass in the legislature, called her \"my favorite Democrat,\" which, considering that's a short list\u003cstrong>,\u003c/strong> may not be saying much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there's \u003cstrong>Rep. Barbara Lee\u003c/strong>, a longtime friend of Harris and a fellow Oaklander who has represented her city in Congress since 1998. Lee, 74, is also close to the Bernie Sanders wing of the Democratic Party and was the only member of Congress to vote against the authorization for use of military force against terrorists in 2001 after 9/11, and one of the few to vote against the Iraq War.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee also helped bridge the divide between the left-wing and moderate parts of the party in 2016 after Hillary Clinton won the nomination. That may make her more than acceptable to all parts of the California Democratic Party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silicon Valley \u003cstrong>Rep. Ro Khanna\u003c/strong>, 44, is also an up and comer after crushing veteran Congressman Mike Honda in 2016. Like Harris, Khanna is Indian American and co-chaired Bernie Sanders' national campaign for president this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One argument against Breed, Schaaf, Bass and Lee, however, is that none of them has never waged a statewide campaign in California, which is hardly an easy task given the size of the state and the cost of running successfully.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Secretary of State Alex Padilla \u003c/strong>has been widely rumored to covet a U.S. Senate seat and is a longtime friend and supporter of Newsom. Padilla chaired Newsom's aborted campaign for governor in 2010 before Jerry Brown jumped in. Padilla was also an early endorser of Newsom while he was running against former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and others in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11576371\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11576371\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlexPadilla-800x492.jpg\" alt=\"California Secretary of State Alex Padilla speaks at a press conference on July 19, 2017 in Washington, DC.\" width=\"800\" height=\"492\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlexPadilla-800x492.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlexPadilla-160x98.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlexPadilla-1020x627.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlexPadilla.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlexPadilla-1180x726.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlexPadilla-960x591.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlexPadilla-240x148.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlexPadilla-375x231.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlexPadilla-520x320.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">California Secretary of State Alex Padilla speaks at a press conference on July 19, 2017, in Washington, D.C. \u003ccite>(Joe Raedle/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"Gavin Newsom has just a handful of close friends,\" Ballard noted. \"And Alex is one of them.

Lee, 74, is also close to the Bernie Sanders wing of the Democratic Party and was the only member of Congress to vote against the authorization for use of military force against terrorists in 2001 after 9/11, and one of the few to vote against the Iraq War.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee also helped bridge the divide between the left-wing and moderate parts of the party in 2016 after Hillary Clinton won the nomination.

How much the dustup would matter to Newsom is unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as Ballard tells it, Padilla is near the top of Newsom's list. \"He is eminently qualified for the position, and of all the contenders he's the most senatorial,\" Ballard says, meaning he believes Padilla sounds and looks like a senator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ballard notes that whoever Newsom chooses would be on the ballot in 2022 when the governor is up for reelection. \"It's almost like having a running mate,\" he said, adding he wouldn't want to appoint someone who would be a drag on his own campaign.

Feinstein to vacate her Senate seat before running on his own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Eleni Kounalakis\u003c/strong> is a relative newcomer to statewide politics, getting elected as the state's first female Lt. Governor in 2018 in her first run for office. Kounalakis, 54, is no stranger to Democratic Party politics however. She served as President Barack Obama's ambassador to Hungary from 2010-13 and her Greek American father has long been a major donor to Democratic politicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Attorney General Xavier Becerra\u003c/strong> was named by Gov. Jerry Brown to be Kamala Harris's replacement as California Attorney General when she was elected to the U.S. Senate. Becerra has been the tip of California's legal sword against President Trump's policies. Becerra, often in concert with other state attorneys general, has sued the Trump Administration dozens of times over issues ranging from travel bans to environmental policies, the U.S. Census and Trump's wall along the Mexico border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra, 62, was elected to Congress in 1992, representing Los Angeles until Brown named him A.G., but when asked about returning to Washington he said he prefers to live in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Gov. Newsom eyes these potential picks for political ascension, he has also long eyed higher office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He is widely believed to have seen himself running for president one day, an option seemingly foreclosed at the moment by the ascension of Harris. But the former San Francisco mayor has remained quite popular with voters, receiving a 57% approval rating in an October survey from the Public Policy Institute of California. He could decide to run for the U.S. Senate when Feinstein leaves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any case, Newsom said on Election Day that he was thrilled for Harris, who has been a kind of \"frenemy\" or political competitor since he was mayor and she was district attorney in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\"I've never seen her more happy, more confident, loose,\" Newsom said. \"She's in her element. And you feel that. You see that. And so I just couldn't be more happy for her. And it's profoundly significant for the state.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"headTitle": "KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>Vice president-elect Kamala Harris on Saturday paid tribute to the women, particularly Black women, whose shoulders she stands on as she shatters barriers that have kept mostly white men entrenched at the highest levels of U.S. politics for more than two centuries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tonight I reflect on their struggle, their determination and the strength of their vision to see what can be unburdened by what has been,” Harris said, wearing a white suit in tribute to women’s suffrage. She called it a testament to President-elect Joe Biden’s character that “he had the audacity to break one of the most substantial barriers that exists in our country, and select a woman as his vice president.” [pullquote size=\"large\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Kamala Harris, Vice President-elect\"]'While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last.' [/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last,” Harris said in her first post-election address to the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 56-year-old California senator, also the first person of South Asian descent elected to the vice presidency, represents the multiculturalism that defines America but is largely absent from Washington’s power centers. Her Black identity has allowed her to speak in personal terms in a year of reckoning over police brutality and systemic racism. As the highest-ranking woman ever elected in U.S. government, her victory gives hope to women who were devastated by Hillary Clinton’s defeat four years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris told little children to “dream with ambition, lead with conviction and see yourselves in a way that others may not simply because they’re never seen it before.” After Biden’s speech, she was joined on stage by her family, including her two grandnieces who wore white dresses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A rising star in Democratic politics for much of the last two decades, many people in the Bay Area know that Harris served as San Francisco’s district attorney and California’s attorney general before becoming a U.S. senator. After she ended her own 2020 Democratic presidential campaign, Joe Biden tapped her as his running mate. They will be sworn in as president and vice president on Jan. 20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden’s running mate selection carried added significance because he will be the oldest president ever inaugurated, at 78, and hasn’t committed to seeking a second term in 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris often framed her candidacy as part of the legacy of pioneering Black women who came before her, including educator Mary McLeod Bethune, civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer and Rep. Shirley Chisholm, the first Black candidate to seek a major party’s presidential nomination, in 1972.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She paid tribute to Black women “who are too often overlooked but so often prove they are the backbone of our democracy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the excitement surrounding Harris, she and Biden face steep challenges, including a pandemic that has taken a disproportionate toll on people of color, and a series of police killings of Black Americans that have deepened racial tensions. Harris’ past work as a prosecutor has prompted skepticism among progressives and young voters who are looking to her to back sweeping institutional change over incremental reforms in policing, drug policy and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessica Byrd, who leads the Movement for Black Lives’ Electoral Justice Project and The Frontline, a multiracial coalition effort to galvanize voters, said she plans to engage in the rigorous organizing work needed to push Harris and Biden toward more progressive policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I deeply believe in the power of Black women’s leadership, even when all of our politics don’t align,” Byrd said. “I want us to be committed to the idea that representation is exciting and it’s worthy of celebration and also that we have millions of Black women who deserve a fair shot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris is the second Black woman elected to the Senate. Her colleague, Sen. Cory Booker, who is also Black, said her very presence makes the institution “more accessible to more people” and suggested she would accomplish the same with the vice presidency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris was born in 1964 to parents active in the civil rights movement. Shyamala Gopalan, from India, and Donald Harris, from Jamaica, met at the University of California, Berkeley, then a hotbed of 1960s activism. They divorced when Harris and her sister were young, and Harris was raised by her late mother, whom she considers the most important influence in her life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When she came here from India at the age of 19, she maybe didn’t quite imagine this moment. But she believed so deeply in an America where a moment like this is possible,” Harris said Saturday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kamala is Sanskrit for “lotus flower,” and Harris gave nods to her Indian heritage throughout the campaign, including with a callout to her “chitthis,” a Tamil word for a maternal aunt, in her first speech as Biden’s running mate. When Georgia Sen. David Perdue mocked her name in an October rally, the hashtag #MyNameIs took off on Twitter, with South Asians sharing the meanings behind their names.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://the.ink/p/kamala-versus-daenerys\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The mocking of her name\u003c/a> by Republicans, including Trump, was just one of the attacks Harris faced. Trump and his allies sought to brand her as radical and a socialist despite her more centrist record, an effort aimed at making people uncomfortable about the prospect of a Black woman in leadership. She was the target of online disinformation laced with racism and sexism about her qualifications to serve as president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal of Washington said Harris’ power comes not just from her life experience but also from the people she already represents.

After she ended her own 2020 Democratic presidential campaign, Joe Biden tapped her as his running mate. They will be sworn in as president and vice president on Jan. 20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden’s running mate selection carried added significance because he will be the oldest president ever inaugurated, at 78, and hasn’t committed to seeking a second term in 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris often framed her candidacy as part of the legacy of pioneering Black women who came before her, including educator Mary McLeod Bethune, civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer and Rep. Shirley Chisholm, the first Black candidate to seek a major party’s presidential nomination, in 1972.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She paid tribute to Black women “who are too often overlooked but so often prove they are the backbone of our democracy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the excitement surrounding Harris, she and Biden face steep challenges, including a pandemic that has taken a disproportionate toll on people of color, and a series of police killings of Black Americans that have deepened racial tensions. Harris’ past work as a prosecutor has prompted skepticism among progressives and young voters who are looking to her to back sweeping institutional change over incremental reforms in policing, drug policy and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessica Byrd, who leads the Movement for Black Lives’ Electoral Justice Project and The Frontline, a multiracial coalition effort to galvanize voters, said she plans to engage in the rigorous organizing work needed to push Harris and Biden toward more progressive policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I deeply believe in the power of Black women’s leadership, even when all of our politics don’t align,” Byrd said. “I want us to be committed to the idea that representation is exciting and it’s worthy of celebration and also that we have millions of Black women who deserve a fair shot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris is the second Black woman elected to the Senate. Her colleague, Sen. Cory Booker, who is also Black, said her very presence makes the institution “more accessible to more people” and suggested she would accomplish the same with the vice presidency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris was born in 1964 to parents active in the civil rights movement. Shyamala Gopalan, from India, and Donald Harris, from Jamaica, met at the University of California, Berkeley, then a hotbed of 1960s activism. They divorced when Harris and her sister were young, and Harris was raised by her late mother, whom she considers the most important influence in her life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When she came here from India at the age of 19, she maybe didn’t quite imagine this moment. But she believed so deeply in an America where a moment like this is possible,” Harris said Saturday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kamala is Sanskrit for “lotus flower,” and Harris gave nods to her Indian heritage throughout the campaign, including with a callout to her “chitthis,” a Tamil word for a maternal aunt, in her first speech as Biden’s running mate. When Georgia Sen. David Perdue mocked her name in an October rally, the hashtag #MyNameIs took off on Twitter, with South Asians sharing the meanings behind their names.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://the.ink/p/kamala-versus-daenerys\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The mocking of her name\u003c/a> by Republicans, including Trump, was just one of the attacks Harris faced. Trump and his allies sought to brand her as radical and a socialist despite her more centrist record, an effort aimed at making people uncomfortable about the prospect of a Black woman in leadership. She was the target of online disinformation laced with racism and sexism about her qualifications to serve as president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal of Washington said Harris’ power comes not just from her life experience but also from the people she already represents. The state of California is the nation’s most populous and one of its most diverse states; nearly 40% of people are Latino and 15% are Asian. In Congress, Harris and Jayapal have teamed up on bills to ensure legal representation for Muslims targeted by Trump’s 2017 travel ban and to extend rights to domestic workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s the kind of policy that also happens when you have voices like ours at the table,” said Jayapal, who in 2016 was the first South Asian woman elected to the U.S. House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11846537\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11846537\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/1920_GettyImages-1284485251-copy-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/1920_GettyImages-1284485251-copy-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/1920_GettyImages-1284485251-copy-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/1920_GettyImages-1284485251-copy-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/1920_GettyImages-1284485251-copy-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/1920_GettyImages-1284485251-copy-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/1920_GettyImages-1284485251-copy-1920x1080.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">President-elect Joe Biden waves to crowd after his address to the nation from the Chase Center November 07, 2020 in Wilmington, Delaware. \u003ccite>(Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Harris’ mother raised her daughters with the understanding the world would see them as Black women, Harris has said, and that is how she describes herself today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She attended Howard University, one of the nation’s historically Black colleges and universities, and pledged Alpha Kappa Alpha, the nation’s first sorority created by and for Black women.

It is an act.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what he meant was that America's democracy is not guaranteed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it, to guard it and never take it for granted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And protecting our democracy takes struggle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It takes sacrifice. There is joy in it and there is progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because We The People have the power to build a better future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when our very democracy was on the ballot in this election, with the very soul of America at stake, and the world watching, you ushered in a new day for America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To our campaign staff and volunteers, this extraordinary team — thank you for bringing more people than ever before into the democratic process and for making this victory possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To the poll workers and election officials across our country who have worked tirelessly to make sure every vote is counted — our nation owes you a debt of gratitude as you have protected the integrity of our democracy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And to the American people who make up our beautiful country — thank you for turning out in record numbers to make your voices heard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know times have been challenging, especially the last several months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The grief, sorrow, and pain. The worries and the struggles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But we've also witnessed your courage, your resilience, and the generosity of your spirit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For 4 years, you marched and organized for equality and justice, for our lives, and for our planet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, you voted. You delivered a clear message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You chose hope, unity, decency, science, and, yes, truth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You chose Joe Biden as the next President of the United States of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joe is a healer. A uniter. A tested and steady hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A person whose own experience of loss gives him a sense of purpose that will help us, as a nation, reclaim our own sense of purpose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a man with a big heart who loves with abandon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's his love for Jill, who will be an incredible First Lady.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's his love for Hunter, Ashley, his grandchildren, and the entire Biden family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while I first knew Joe as Vice President, I really got to know him as the father who loved Beau, my dear friend, who we remember here today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To my husband Doug, our children Cole and Ella, my sister Maya, and our whole family — I love you all more than I can express.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We are so grateful to Joe and Jill for welcoming our family into theirs on this incredible journey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And to the woman most responsible for my presence here today — my mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, who is always in our hearts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she came here from India at the age of 19, maybe she didn't quite imagine this moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she believed so deeply in an America where a moment like this is possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, I'm thinking about her and about the generations of women — Black Women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asian, White, Latina, and Native American women throughout our nation's history who have paved the way for this moment tonight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Women who fought and sacrificed so much for equality, liberty, and justice for all, including the Black women, who are too often overlooked, but so often Prove that they are the backbone of our democracy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the Women who worked to secure and protect the right to vote for over a century: 100 years ago with the 19th Amendment, 55 years ago with the Voting Rights Act, and now, in 2020, with a new generation of women in our country who cast their ballots and continued the fight for their fundamental right to vote and be heard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tonight, I reflect on their struggle, their determination and the strength of their vision — to see what can be unburdened by what has been — I stand on their shoulders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what a testament it is to Joe's character that he had the audacity to break one of the most substantial barriers that exists in our country and select a woman as his Vice President.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while I may be the first woman in this office, I won't be the last.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And to the children of our country, regardless of your gender, our country has sent you a clear message:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dream with ambition, lead with conviction, and see yourself in a way that others might not see you, simply because they've never seen it before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And we will applaud you every step of the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To the American people:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No matter who you voted for, I will strive to be the Vice President that Joe was to President Obama — loyal, honest, and prepared, waking up every day thinking of you and your families. Because now is when the real work begins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Hard work. The Necessary work. The Good work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The essential work to save lives and beat this pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To rebuild our economy so it works for working people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To root out systemic racism in our justice system and society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To combat the climate crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To unite our country and heal the soul of our nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The road ahead will not be easy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But America is ready. And so are Joe and I.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have elected a president who represents the best in us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A leader the world will respect and our children can look up to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Commander in Chief who will respect our troops and keep our country safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a President for all Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is now my great honor to introduce the President-elect of the United States of America, Joe Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
