Vice President Kamala Harris is an unlikely presidential candidate in 2024, but she could mount a second run for the presidency in a future election cycle. When Harris launched her presidential campaign in 2019, she brought her experience as an Attorney General and US Senator from California to the race. She also generated excitement as a female, African American and Asian American candidate who could speak to multiple constituencies. This essay examines three rhetorical challenges Harris could face during a future presidential campaign: the rhetorical framing of her experience as vice president, the rhetorical framing of her gender, and the rhetorical framing of her experience as a bi-racial African American and Asian American politician. The rhetorical choices she makes and the media coverage she receives will affect her political opportunities as well as the opportunities of those who follow her. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
