Kamala Harris's Path to Victory -Hillary Clinton

History is watching you and me. The choice made by President Biden to halt his campaign was the purest display of patriotism I have ever witnessed. It ought to serve as a wake-up call for the rest of us to carry on his defense of our country's essence. There's no doubt that Democrats can and must win this campaign; the next fifteen weeks will be unlike anything this country has ever seen in terms of politics.

Mr. Biden has taken a difficult and uncommon step. Being president was a dream I had always had. And he was extraordinarily skilled at it when he did arrive. It required true moral clarity to give that up and acknowledge that passing the torch meant completing the task. 

More important was the nation. I know this wasn't easy because I had to come to terms with letting go of that desire as well. But it was the correct course of action.

The future is the focus of elections. I am enthusiastic about Vice President Kamala Harris because of this. She is a symbol of a new beginning in American politics. She can present a positive, cohesive picture. She is capable, seasoned, and primed to become president. She can beat Donald Trump, I'm sure of it.

This election now offers a choice that is much more distinct and obvious. A convicted criminal who just thinks about himself and wants to roll back the clock on our nation and rights is on one side of the debate.

The other is a successful vice president and astute former prosecutor who personifies our belief that the best days of America are still to come. It's traditional complaints against novel remedies.
I have some experience with how challenging it may be for strong female candidates to overcome the discrimination and unfair practices prevalent in American politics. Some have referred to me as a witch, a "nasty woman," and worse. In effigy, I was even burned. During my campaign, I would occasionally avoid discussing the importance of making history. I doubted that voters were prepared for that. Furthermore, I was running because I believed I was the most qualified person for the job—not to break down barriers. 

I'm glad that, despite my ongoing grief at not being able to shatter the hardest, tallest glass ceiling, having a woman at the top of the ticket seems normal after my two presidential campaigns.

Being the first Black and South Asian woman at the top of a major party ticket presents special hurdles for Ms. Harris. It's true, but we shouldn't let it scare us. Believing that growth is unattainable is a trap. After all, it wasn't too long ago that Americans elected our first Black president with a landslide, and I won the national popular vote by almost three million votes in 2016. Abortion restrictions and assaults on democracy are inspiring women voters like never before, as the 2022 midterm elections demonstrated.

This movement has the potential to become an unstoppable wave, with Ms. Harris at the head of the ticket setting the example.

There is not much time to plan the campaign on her behalf, but even less time has not stopped the Labour Party in Britain and a wide left-wing coalition in France from winning significant victories recently. Ms. Harris will need to rally young people who require persuasion and reach out to those who have been skeptics about Democrats. However, she may run on a solid platform of record-breaking accomplishments and bold proposals to further cut family expenses, pass sensible gun control legislation, and uphold and defend our liberties and rights.

She has an awesome story to share on this administration's achievements. After President Trump mishandled the outbreak and caused our economy to collapse, Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris spearheaded America's recovery. The US has added almost 15 million jobs under their direction, and the unemployment rate is almost at a 50-year low.
