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.",

"content": "\u003cp>Debates between the Democratic and Republican candidates for vice president are typically the undercard of presidential campaigns, a relatively unimportant contest squeezed in between the main events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in this topsy turvy election year, President Donald Trump’s hospitalization for COVID-19 and Joe Biden’s age might give Wednesday night’s faceoff between Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. Kamala Harris an unusually large audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This may be the most consequential vice presidential debate in American political history,” said Dan Schur, who teaches political science at USC and UC Berkeley. He acknowledges there’s not much competition for that title, since no VP debate in history has ever really resulted in more than memorable soundbites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The stakes are much higher now because, without sounding ghoulish, more and more Americans are going to be wondering whether either Donald Trump or Joe Biden would be able to serve for four full years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schnur, who sat in on debate preparation for George W. Bush and Sen. John McCain, said the key is to try and plan for the unexpected, which by definition is hard to do. Former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg is playing the part of VP Pence in debate preparation for Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Debate preparation, if it’s done well, is usually less about content and more about presentation,” Schnur said. “If the candidates themselves do their job right, they’re going to be familiar with the substance of the types of policy matters that they’re going to get asked about in the debate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Kamala Harris, the stakes are huge. A strong performance will help cement Joe Biden’s current advantage in the polls. If she slips up or looks shaky, it creates an opening for Trump to make her the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barbara O’Connor, an emeritus professor of communications at Cal State Sacramento, said Harris “has got to make herself believable and honest, answer questions and play by the rules in order to attract the suburban women that people say [have] still not made up their minds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Connor, who was a debate coach at USC, Georgetown and Cal State Sacramento, added that Harris has to debate in a way that doesn’t turn off undecided voters and suburban women. “I think coming off as an attack dog and being vicious, which she can be,” would be a mistake, O’Connor said. “We’ve all seen it. That would scare them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suburban women are considered a key demographic Trump won in 2016 – but \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/10/01/president-trump-gets-suburbs-all-wrong/\">polls show he’s losing them now\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of Harris’s most powerful moments have been as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, questioning Trump administration officials and Supreme Court nominees like Brett Kavanaugh. But Schnur said that prosecutorial style might not serve Harris well Wednesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As Barack Obama once noted, he always felt that he needed to be more restrained and less aggressive on the public stage, simply so he didn’t, in \u003ci>his\u003c/i> words, not mine, come across as an ‘angry Black man.’ And for Harris, both as a woman and a woman of color, that challenge may be even greater,” Schnur said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside link1=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/10/06/919107935/pence-and-harris-debate-wednesday-heres-what-you-need-to-know,Pence And Harris Debate Wednesday.

Loretta Sanchez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was only a few feet away and she was very much in command of her spot on the stage, let’s put it that way,” Sonenshein said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='More Election Coverage' tag='election2020']Harris’s debate performance before the presidential primaries was often uneven, with moments that went viral but also answers that seemed wooden or unnatural. It left voters wondering who she really was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sonenshein said he hopes Harris communicates the kind of authenticity she showed on the campaign trail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She really generates a great deal of charisma and warmth and engagement. And some of that should be part of her presentation,” Sonenshein said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris will be up against a steady and calm debater in Vice President Pence. As a former member of Congress and governor of Indiana, he’s used to debating and unlike President Trump, Pence will follow the rules and be polite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the problem is that he has to defend the president at all times, no matter what,” said Sonenshein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The largest audience ever for a vice presidential debate was in 2008, when 70 million people watched Joe Biden debate Sarah Palin, who was relatively unknown and a curiosity to many voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wednesday night’s event in Salt Lake City, Utah will surely be the largest audience Kamala Harris has ever had. Barbara O’Connor said Harris will be the main draw for voters who want to get a better sense of the person who could be eventually be president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone’s wondering, you know, and I think people who are legitimately undecided will be watching with great interest,” O’Connor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the two campaigns already in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/vp-debate-coronavirus-safety/2020/10/06/ee44fa00-07e7-11eb-a166-dc429b380d10_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">disagreement\u003c/a> over the placement of plexiglass dividers at the debate came word Tuesday afternoon that Stephen Miller, one of President Trump’s top advisers and husband of Pence’s communications director, tested positive for COVID-19.

Kamala Harris an unusually large audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This may be the most consequential vice presidential debate in American political history,” said Dan Schur, who teaches political science at USC and UC Berkeley. He acknowledges there’s not much competition for that title, since no VP debate in history has ever really resulted in more than memorable soundbites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The stakes are much higher now because, without sounding ghoulish, more and more Americans are going to be wondering whether either Donald Trump or Joe Biden would be able to serve for four full years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schnur, who sat in on debate preparation for George W. Bush and Sen. John McCain, said the key is to try and plan for the unexpected, which by definition is hard to do. Former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg is playing the part of VP Pence in debate preparation for Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Debate preparation, if it’s done well, is usually less about content and more about presentation,” Schnur said. “If the candidates themselves do their job right, they’re going to be familiar with the substance of the types of policy matters that they’re going to get asked about in the debate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Kamala Harris, the stakes are huge. A strong performance will help cement Joe Biden’s current advantage in the polls. If she slips up or looks shaky, it creates an opening for Trump to make her the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That would scare them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suburban women are considered a key demographic Trump won in 2016 – but \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/10/01/president-trump-gets-suburbs-all-wrong/\">polls show he’s losing them now\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of Harris’s most powerful moments have been as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, questioning Trump administration officials and Supreme Court nominees like Brett Kavanaugh. But Schnur said that prosecutorial style might not serve Harris well Wednesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As Barack Obama once noted, he always felt that he needed to be more restrained and less aggressive on the public stage, simply so he didn’t, in \u003ci>his\u003c/i> words, not mine, come across as an ‘angry Black man.’ And for Harris, both as a woman and a woman of color, that challenge may be even greater,” Schnur said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And it’s unclear who will benefit from the new campaign landscape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former California Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer believes Republicans would be making a mistake to muscle through a nominee so close to the presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This election already is insane and fraught with foreign interference and voter suppression and everything, and now it looks like my former Republican colleagues are going to push ahead and be hypocrites and push an appointment forward,” Boxer said. “And I think that will throw a torch into the Senate, literally. And I think it will change everything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boxer, along with Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, was elected in the 1992 “Year of the Woman” following the contentious confirmation of Justice Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was also there in 2016 when Republicans blocked a vote on former President Barack Obama’s choice to fill a seat left vacant after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, saying it was too close to the election — which at that point was more than eight months away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And they’re just being hypocrites and double dealers and everything else. You cannot do that. You cannot just change every other day because it suits your needs,” Boxer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, Ginsburg’s death allows Trump to do something he desperately needs: change the subject. Every day he defends his handling of the pandemic or denies allegations published in books by former disgruntled former is a day he’s losing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, are vowing to vote on a Republican nominee in the coming weeks, even though the election is just over 40 days away. The timing of any hearings is not yet clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If he does it before the election, it’s going to put his vulnerable senators in a very bad place,” Boxer said. But she added, “Either way, if he does it after the election, I think the Republican Party will be dead and buried.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NPR/status/1307348835300188162\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not really clear what a rushed confirmation would mean politically. And Democrats also have a lot riding on how the White House and McConnell proceed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-California, could be pressed to leave the campaign trail if confirmation hearings are set before the election. This would give Harris, known for her sharp and politically polarizing questioning of Trump nominees, a high-profile role, but not one she would necessarily want or benefit from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A confirmation battle could be a good organizing tool for Democrats. But if it consumes progressive interest groups’ time and money, it could also distract from the larger issue of getting Democrats out to vote for the Biden-Harris ticket and for the Democratic Senate candidates in states they’re hoping to flip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"former California Sen. Barbara Boxer\"]“I think that will throw a torch into the Senate, literally. And I think it will change everything.”[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Politics aside, states like California have a lot riding on who replaces Ginsburg. Stanford Law School professor Pamela Karlan said issues involving consumer rights, for example, could more easily be wiped away by a more conservative court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California has a lot of progressive laws and there are conservatives who would like to challenge a lot of those laws,” Karlan said. “And Ruth Bader Ginsburg was somebody who was not going to find preemption of state consumer rights issues or preemption of a state’s right to go to court.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Karlan also said that issues involving immigration and immigrants’ rights, so important in a state like California, would also be at higher risk if the court shifts further to the right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Women’s groups worry about the court striking down Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court ruling establishing a woman’s right to an abortion and preventing states from banning the procedure outright. The future of LGBT rights, the fate of the Affordable Care Act and even potential legal issues emanating from the November election could also be determined by a sharply more conservative court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley Law Professor Amanda Tyler clerked for Ginsburg and is writing a book based on an on-stage conversation with her last fall. Asked what kind of person she thought Ginsburg would want as a replacement, Tyler initially said, “It’s impossible to fill her shoes. She was a legend.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Tyler added, “if she were able to speak to it, she would say probably that she would want somebody who believes that the Constitution was a document for all of us, that the story of our Constitution is a story of being ever more welcoming and inclusive. And that we have to constantly be vigilant about working to ensure that we are building a more perfect union.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyler went on to say she was concerned about how a bitter confirmation process would affect the court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s important for the institution that is the Supreme Court that it not be the central issue in this election,” Tyler said. “I realize that with her passing, that is in some respects almost inevitable, that it will be a major issue. But I think that (Ginsburg), like all the justices, would prefer to keep the court as insulated as possible from politics. Again, that is also not entirely possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden echoed many Democrats Friday, including Harris, his running mate, and Feinstein, in saying no one should be nominated before the presidential inauguration in January. Biden chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee during the contentious confirmation hearings for Clarence Thomas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/KamalaHarris/status/1307328451343515648\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a tweet, President Trump, who recently released a list of potential court nominees he would choose from, pressured Biden to say who he would name if he won the presidency.[aside tag=\"politics\" label=\"More political coverage\"]Karlan, the Stanford law professor, thinks that’s a bad idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be a mistake for him to say who he would nominate before (the election),” Karlan said. “You know, one of the things that’s really important, and we saw this with the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, you need to do some vetting, some serious vetting before you put somebody up,” she noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And, you know, the FBI is not under Joe Biden’s control right now. It’s under Donald Trump’s control. So, he can’t do the kind of vetting that a president would want to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Karlan also said that Biden’s nomination decision would be determined in part by whether Democrats control the Senate in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boxer agrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I were advising Joe on this, and believe me, he has plenty of people who are, I would say, ‘Describe the type of human being you’d put on,’ ” she said. “And you know what? It should be someone like Ruth Bader Ginsburg who had a passion for justice, a passion for equality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ginsburg’s death has roiled an already high-anxiety campaign season, leaving uncertain what impact it will have on the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Ginsburg’s death is a huge loss for liberals, Boxer sees the vacancy as ultimately being an advantage for Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the young voters, who really had an affection for Ruth and really understand that nothing’s happening (on things like) climate change, if they get themselves up and say 60% or 55% of them vote, I think they’ll be guaranteeing that we will have Joe Biden as president. I do,” Boxer said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But if it consumes progressive interest groups’ time and money, it could also distract from the larger issue of getting Democrats out to vote for the Biden-Harris ticket and for the Democratic Senate candidates in states they’re hoping to flip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Stanford Law School professor Pamela Karlan said issues involving consumer rights, for example, could more easily be wiped away by a more conservative court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California has a lot of progressive laws and there are conservatives who would like to challenge a lot of those laws,” Karlan said. “And Ruth Bader Ginsburg was somebody who was not going to find preemption of state consumer rights issues or preemption of a state’s right to go to court.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Karlan also said that issues involving immigration and immigrants’ rights, so important in a state like California, would also be at higher risk if the court shifts further to the right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Women’s groups worry about the court striking down Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court ruling establishing a woman’s right to an abortion and preventing states from banning the procedure outright. The future of LGBT rights, the fate of the Affordable Care Act and even potential legal issues emanating from the November election could also be determined by a sharply more conservative court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley Law Professor Amanda Tyler clerked for Ginsburg and is writing a book based on an on-stage conversation with her last fall. Asked what kind of person she thought Ginsburg would want as a replacement, Tyler initially said, “It’s impossible to fill her shoes. She was a legend.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Tyler added, “if she were able to speak to it, she would say probably that she would want somebody who believes that the Constitution was a document for all of us, that the story of our Constitution is a story of being ever more welcoming and inclusive. And that we have to constantly be vigilant about working to ensure that we are building a more perfect union.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyler went on to say she was concerned about how a bitter confirmation process would affect the court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s important for the institution that is the Supreme Court that it not be the central issue in this election,” Tyler said. “I realize that with her passing, that is in some respects almost inevitable, that it will be a major issue. But I think that (Ginsburg), like all the justices, would prefer to keep the court as insulated as possible from politics. Again, that is also not entirely possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden echoed many Democrats Friday, including Harris, his running mate, and Feinstein, in saying no one should be nominated before the presidential inauguration in January. Biden chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee during the contentious confirmation hearings for Clarence Thomas.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She says their goal is to watchdog media coverage that relies on racial or gender stereotypes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every single day in this campaign, journalists and opinion editors should be reminded that they actually have a role to actively ensure that their reporting and their content commentary is not sexist, is not racist,\" Graves said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said unless gender and race-based stereotypes used by the media against Harris are called out, \"Then it becomes OK for a lot of other people.

And on Harris’ role questioning Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Trump said, \"She was nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>'Nasty' is a word Trump often uses to describe politicians and journalists, especially women of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another offender, according to Graves, is conservative Fox News talk show host Tucker Carlson. In his commentary one night, Carlson said, \"America is indeed ready for a Black president. We elected one twice. But is America ready for a shallow and hectoring rich lady whose only real fans work at hedge funds and MSNBC?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with a Democratic campaign operative, Carlson also seemed to deliberately mispronounced Harris’ first name and argued that saying it correctly didn't matter. Graves notes that the deliberate mangling of \"Kamala\" — which Trump also does — is quite intentional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that sort of mispronunciation is designed to 'other' her. It is designed to show that she is different,\" Graves said. \"And it is designed to disrespect her. It is for sure racist and sexist.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Graves said not correcting the mispronunciation would be a mistake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It sends a message to other women who may run for office, it sends a message frankly, to young women of color,\" Graves said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aimee Allison, who founded \u003ca href=\"https://www.shethepeople.org\">She the People\u003c/a> to encourage women of color to enter politics, says the women who formed We Have Her Back realized those kinds of attacks are aimed at discouraging women from participating in politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When there's an attack on Kamala Harris, there's an attack on 38 million of us women of color, and we're not gonna stand for it,\" Allison said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any case, Allison said the purpose of We Have Her Back isn’t to change the minds of voters who doubt Harris' qualifications — it’s to boost turnout of Democrats. And defending Harris is also a way of encouraging other candidates like her, Allison added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11838132\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11838132 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/IMG_0293-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A group called We Have Her Back is warning against the media using gender and race-based stereotypes toward vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris. \u003ccite>(Alex Hall/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That sentiment is shared by Alida Garcia, an activist in the Latina community who worked on Harris' 2010 campaign for attorney general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia notes that the Latinx community are often told to work hard, keep their head down and not be too ambitious. That charge of being \"too ambitious\" was leveled at Harris by some who didn't want Biden to choose her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It feels like it's an opportunity for all of us, not just for her. It's an opportunity for generations of Americans to see what leadership looks like in a way that is new and is different,\" Garcia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of this is to say all criticism of Harris is racist or sexist. Fairly critiquing or attacking her policy positions, her record as district attorney or attorney general are all fair game. In fact, Graves welcomes that kind of scrutiny and says her group is just asking for Harris and other women to be treated the way men are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"kamala-harris\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s actually not that big of an ask when covering women candidates, deal with the substance, don't deal with the assorted stereotypes and tropes about their looks or likability,\" Graves said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is a lot on the line in the November election and voter turnout is everything — who votes and who doesn’t, Allison said. After the 2016 election, she and her allies aren’t taking anything for granted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In just over 50 days, women of color are going to turn out. And we're focused on having a conversation among each other about what that's going to take,\" Allison said. \"It's not going to be Election Day. It's election season.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says the goal of groups like hers is to get women in their networks to vote by mid-October and spend the final two weeks making sure their friends and family do, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

And on Harris’ role questioning Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Trump said, \"She was nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>'Nasty' is a word Trump often uses to describe politicians and journalists, especially women of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another offender, according to Graves, is conservative Fox News talk show host Tucker Carlson. In his commentary one night, Carlson said, \"America is indeed ready for a Black president. We elected one twice. But is America ready for a shallow and hectoring rich lady whose only real fans work at hedge funds and MSNBC?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with a Democratic campaign operative, Carlson also seemed to deliberately mispronounced Harris’ first name and argued that saying it correctly didn't matter. Graves notes that the deliberate mangling of \"Kamala\" — which Trump also does — is quite intentional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that sort of mispronunciation is designed to 'other' her. It is designed to show that she is different,\" Graves said. \"And it is designed to disrespect her. It is for sure racist and sexist.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Three months after becoming San Francisco’s district attorney in 2004, Kamala Harris faced a trial by fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her first run for office in 2003, Harris knocked off Terence Hallinan, San Francisco’s progressive district attorney, by running slightly to his right, promising to manage a more professional office that would be tougher on violent crime, domestic violence and sex trafficking, and stand up for those who had felt ignored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She had also promised never to charge the death penalty — a pledge that was put to the test just four months into her term when a 29-year-old police officer named Isaac Espinoza was shot and killed by a gang member.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris ultimately kept her promise, announcing before Espinoza’s funeral that her office would \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/SAN-FRANCISCO-D-A-won-t-pursue-death-in-cop-2767716.php\">seek life without the possibility of parole\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Jim Stearns, Kamala Harris' first campaign manager\"]‘Kamala has always wanted to have a seat at the table.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, Harris said she believed that the majority of San Franciscans wanted to see “the most severe crimes be met with the most severe consequences,” and that in this liberal city, life without parole would likely be the most severe consequence a jury would hand down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But former police officers union President Gary Delagnes says the timing of Harris’ announcement \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/S-F-police-push-hard-for-death-penalty-D-A-s-2765721.php\">alienated many officers in the San Francisco Police Department.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By having a press conference before the kid was even in the ground to announce that she was not seeking the death penalty, I mean, it was such a cold political move that I mean, it just showed a complete lack of compassion,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the timing of her announcement poisoned the young prosecutor’s relationship with the police union, even Delagnes acknowledged she made the right call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obviously no San Francisco jury was going to convict a 19-year-old African American man — they’re not going to give the death penalty to somebody in that situation and I said that from the beginning,” Delagnes said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris’ office did get the conviction and sent Espinoza’s killer to prison for life, without the chance for parole.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Breaking Boundaries\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Throughout her time in politics, California Sen. Kamala Harris has found herself caught between two very different groups, both of whom see themselves in her: law enforcement officials and progressive activists pushing for a more racially just legal system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris is\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11834151/senator-kamala-harris-takes-her-place-in-history-as-vp-nominee\"> now the Democratic nominee for vice president\u003c/a>, and in recent years has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.harris.senate.gov/news/press-releases/harris-on-police-reform-this-movement-will-not-be-deterred\">outspoken about the need for systemic change to policing and criminal justice\u003c/a> in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But before that, and before she was the second Black and first South Asian woman to serve in the U.S. Senate, Harris was a prosecutor: district attorney of San Francisco, then attorney general of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Debbie Mesloh, one of Harris’ longtime advisers, said Harris was from the start considered an outsider by many in the world of law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I recall many situations where people who had been in leadership within the DA’s office or within the police department seemed to struggle with her leadership,” Mesloh recalled. “That first meeting with the District Attorney’s Association of California, she was the only woman to walk in that room. She was one of, I think, three people of color.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"kamala-harris\"]Mesloh said Harris has had to absorb throughout her career “subtle and not so subtle messages that were sent to her of, you know, ‘Who do you think you are? You need to know your place. You know, you may have won an election, but there’s only one of you. We outnumber you.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mesloh said Harris never let those messages intimidate her.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Wanting a Seat at the Table\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Suzy Loftus, who worked under Harris as both a deputy district attorney and assistant attorney general, said the conviction was important to Harris — and consistent with her principles. And, she said, Harris learned from the Espinoza case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She made the decision quickly, announced it quickly and recognized later that there were so many people who were so deeply impacted in that moment and in grief and in pain. And that loss was exacerbated by an announcement in the middle of it. So I think she endeavored to learn from her mistakes,” Loftus said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Loftus insists, it didn’t make Harris a different or more cautious politician.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think by function of being a prosecutor, you’re more careful,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Stearns, who ran Harris’ first campaign, added that while the Espinoza decision soured some in law enforcement on Harris at the time, it also won over many voters, making her something of a political star in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think what galvanized the city for her was this was the first time people could remember that a politician made a difficult promise, like, ‘I will never enforce the death penalty,’ and actually did it under the most incredible pressure,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stearns said there’s been a tension throughout Harris’ career: between what’s expected of her as a member of law enforcement and what’s been asked of her by progressive activists who see her as an ally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kamala has always wanted to have a seat at the table,” Stearns said. “So it would be a mistake to see Kamala or to expect from Kamala that she is ever going to stand outside of the system and demand the kind of wholesale changes that people who stand out of the system want.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That tension would play out most dramatically when Harris took on her next job, as attorney general of the state of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>‘Someone Who’s Been So Vilified’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In 2010, Harris won the narrowest of victories to become California’s first female and first Black attorney general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a tough race. Law enforcement unions had overwhelmingly backed Harris’ opponent, Los Angeles’ Republican district attorney, Steve Cooley, who used those endorsements to paint Harris as anti-police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To build relationships with local prosecutors, sheriffs and police, the first thing Harris did as attorney general was visit all 58 California counties. Loftus, her longtime deputy, planned the tour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was incredibly effective because I think there’s nothing like actually getting to talk to someone — especially who’s been so vilified,” Loftus said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"LaDoris Cordell, former San Jose independent police auditor\"]‘There’s this fine line. You’re the top cop, but you’re also a prosecutor, which is representing the people. And oftentimes those two things are not compatible.’[/pullquote]Four years later, when Harris ran for reelection, police groups largely supported her. But she soon found herself at odds with another key constituency: progressive Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deadly police shootings were in the news, and Democrats in the California state Legislature were pushing a bill to require independent investigations of deadly use of force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento Democratic Assemblyman Kevin McCarty authored a 2015 bill to require the attorney general to take police shooting investigations away from local district attorneys, who he said have an inherent conflict of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, if you’re at a high school baseball game looking out there and seeing the umpire is the uncle of one of the star players, are you going to trust that umpire to call balls and strikes fairly?

She was one of, I think, three people of color.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You need to know your place. You know, you may have won an election, but there’s only one of you. We outnumber you.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mesloh said Harris never let those messages intimidate her.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Wanting a Seat at the Table\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Suzy Loftus, who worked under Harris as both a deputy district attorney and assistant attorney general, said the conviction was important to Harris — and consistent with her principles. And, she said, Harris learned from the Espinoza case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She made the decision quickly, announced it quickly and recognized later that there were so many people who were so deeply impacted in that moment and in grief and in pain. And that loss was exacerbated by an announcement in the middle of it. So I think she endeavored to learn from her mistakes,” Loftus said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Loftus insists, it didn’t make Harris a different or more cautious politician.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think by function of being a prosecutor, you’re more careful,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Stearns, who ran Harris’ first campaign, added that while the Espinoza decision soured some in law enforcement on Harris at the time, it also won over many voters, making her something of a political star in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think what galvanized the city for her was this was the first time people could remember that a politician made a difficult promise, like, ‘I will never enforce the death penalty,’ and actually did it under the most incredible pressure,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stearns said there’s been a tension throughout Harris’ career: between what’s expected of her as a member of law enforcement and what’s been asked of her by progressive activists who see her as an ally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kamala has always wanted to have a seat at the table,” Stearns said. “So it would be a mistake to see Kamala or to expect from Kamala that she is ever going to stand outside of the system and demand the kind of wholesale changes that people who stand out of the system want.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That tension would play out most dramatically when Harris took on her next job, as attorney general of the state of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>‘Someone Who’s Been So Vilified’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In 2010, Harris won the narrowest of victories to become California’s first female and first Black attorney general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a tough race. Law enforcement unions had overwhelmingly backed Harris’ opponent, Los Angeles’ Republican district attorney, Steve Cooley, who used those endorsements to paint Harris as anti-police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To build relationships with local prosecutors, sheriffs and police, the first thing Harris did as attorney general was visit all 58 California counties. Loftus, her longtime deputy, planned the tour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was incredibly effective because I think there’s nothing like actually getting to talk to someone — especially who’s been so vilified,” Loftus said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The report confirmed that Russia not only meddled in the election to help Donald Trump win the presidency but also that Paul Manafort and other Trump campaign advisors had extensive contacts with Russian operatives and shared information such as polling data with them. Congressional lawmakers also summoned U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to testify on Capitol Hill today and Monday about controversial changes he authorized that have led to mail delivery delays, service reductions and warnings that mail-in ballots may not arrive in time to be counted for the November election. DeJoy announced this week that the service changes would be suspended until after the election. Meanwhile, more than one million workers filed new claims for state unemployment benefits last week, including more than 201,000 in California, as Congress and the White House remain at odds over a new round of federal aid. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">U.S. Rep.

The four-day convention was scheduled to be held in Milwaukee but was scrapped because of concerns of holding such a large gathering in the midst of the pandemic. On Wednesday night, California Senator Kamala Harris made history by becoming the first woman and first Asian American to accept the vice presidency nomination from a major political party, joining Joe Biden as his running mate. The virtual convention featured not only impassioned speeches from Democratic heavyweights such as Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Elizabeth Warren, but also endorsements of Joe Biden by Republicans like former Ohio governor John Kasich and Colin Powell. A diverse group of Americans also gave personal testimonials of the impact that President Trump’s policies have had on them and their families. Meanwhile, President Trump held rallies in the battleground states of Wisconsin and Minnesota on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention, followed by rallies in Arizona and Pennsylvania where he denounced Biden, accusing him of wanting to raise taxes, weaken border security and “kill the stock market.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guy Marzorati, politics and government reporter, KQED\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lanhee Chen, fellow, Hoover Institution \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>On Anniversary of Women’s Right to Vote, New Challenges Loom\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week marked the 100-year anniversary of women’s right to vote and they’ve used it in increasing numbers.

And despite a record number of women in Congress today, along with the selection of California senator Kamala Harris on a history-making presidential ticket, women still face daunting challenges to winning elected office or even casting a ballot in some states that have imposed restrictions on voting, from stringent voter ID laws to closing polling places.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mindy Romero, director and founder, Center for Inclusive Democracy, University of Southern California\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

The report confirmed that Russia not only meddled in the election to help Donald Trump win the presidency but also that Paul Manafort and other Trump campaign advisors had extensive contacts with Russian operatives and shared information such as polling data with them. Congressional lawmakers also summoned U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to testify on Capitol Hill today and Monday about controversial changes he authorized that have led to mail delivery delays, service reductions and warnings that mail-in ballots may not arrive in time to be counted for the November election. DeJoy announced this week that the service changes would be suspended until after the election. Meanwhile, more than one million workers filed new claims for state unemployment benefits last week, including more than 201,000 in California, as Congress and the White House remain at odds over a new round of federal aid. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">U.S. Rep.

The four-day convention was scheduled to be held in Milwaukee but was scrapped because of concerns of holding such a large gathering in the midst of the pandemic. On Wednesday night, California Senator Kamala Harris made history by becoming the first woman and first Asian American to accept the vice presidency nomination from a major political party, joining Joe Biden as his running mate. The virtual convention featured not only impassioned speeches from Democratic heavyweights such as Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Elizabeth Warren, but also endorsements of Joe Biden by Republicans like former Ohio governor John Kasich and Colin Powell. A diverse group of Americans also gave personal testimonials of the impact that President Trump’s policies have had on them and their families. Meanwhile, President Trump held rallies in the battleground states of Wisconsin and Minnesota on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention, followed by rallies in Arizona and Pennsylvania where he denounced Biden, accusing him of wanting to raise taxes, weaken border security and “kill the stock market.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guy Marzorati, politics and government reporter, KQED\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lanhee Chen, fellow, Hoover Institution \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>On Anniversary of Women’s Right to Vote, New Challenges Loom\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week marked the 100-year anniversary of women’s right to vote and they’ve used it in increasing numbers. In fact, for the past 40 years, more women have voted in every single presidential election than men. And despite a record number of women in Congress today, along with the selection of California senator Kamala Harris on a history-making presidential ticket, women still face daunting challenges to winning elected office or even casting a ballot in some states that have imposed restrictions on voting, from stringent voter ID laws to closing polling places.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
