Kamala Harris own Nomination French was dressed in a navy blue, chic yet stylish trouser suit and blouse at the Democratic National Convention for
Rumors abounded that she would wear ‘suffragette white’ to highlight her historic nomination Hillary Clinton But as an aide, Kamala didn’t have to prove her worth when I asked if we could expect her to talk about the possibility of becoming the first woman president.
So Kamala’s message in Chicago differs from Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 campaign and Hillary’s constant reference to encounters with ‘obstacles to progress’. Harris downplays this aspect of beliefs, or perhaps calculates that, beyond seeking votes based on sympathy, Americans don’t always warm to women who (due to gender barriers) talk about their struggles. are
Kamala Harris’ careful and pointed speech was designed to change her image as a liberal Californian and feminist as a representative of American women, a common-sense, straight-talking, savior of America and the West. Portrayed as a Wally figure, Trump and his deputy Vance’s camp painted the color of far-left and other-seeking activism.
The convention also hosted the Women’s Hall of Fame where Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama warmed up the audience with their speeches.
While in one session, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (also known as ‘Steel Magnolia’ or Lady Ahn) said it was her duty to advocate for Biden’s removal from the candidacy. ‘I knew exactly what I was doing,’ she told the audience.
The gathering of Democrats was studded with female stars that were the ultimate challenge to Donald Trump’s hopes for a second presidency.
If this comes to fruition in November, it will be a personal and highly professional affair for most of those involved. Harris opted for a softer tone, describing his opponent as a ‘frivolous’ person who could have ‘serious consequences’ if re-elected. She will use her advocacy experience to influence their convictions and moral failings.
Hillary Clinton, now more active and softer-spoken than she was in her 2016 presidential campaign against Trump, is still looking to avenge a defeat that she says is ‘now on the run.’
The winner of this convention was Michelle Obama, who gave fiery speeches in sharp words.
She knew from experience that Trump would likely resort to ‘ugly, vile, racist lies’ about Harris. But they also made some jokes. Joking about one of Trump’s comments about immigrants taking ‘black jobs’, Michelle said: ‘Who’s to tell him that the jobs he (the president) is looking for right now might be those black people. Be of one of the families.’
The reference to her husband’s two-term presidency was a reminder that Barack Obama is still a natural favorite and, more than any other president in the White House, is popular among loyal party workers. No doubt, this was only Michelle’s moment.
The style was grand and proud, especially when Michelle Obama is telling you to do something. He directed the party workers to be more active in defeating Trump.
The vibrancy of American politics today owes much to the legacy of the Obamas, who as the first presidential couple understood the role of social media and connected popular culture with politics through DJs, rappers, fashion designers and comedians. Discovered the method of
At 60, Michelle Obama is as thin as an Arkansas Greyhound. He left no stone unturned in style. She appeared in a very expensive branded sleeveless jumpsuit and black patent leather vertical pencil heeled shiny black Jimmy Choos branded shoes. She wore her hair in a jaunty plait style that featured her hoop earrings. She’s probably relieved she won’t have to wear JCrew brand pastels again.
The convention production was also very impressive, with a supporting female cast including Oprah Winfrey and Maya Harris, who is also the unofficial advisor to her sister Kamala Harris. A cappella country band ‘Da Chicks’ introduced Harris by singing the American national anthem in place of the old Torch Song Warblers.

But the real excitement will come when Kamala Harris faces Trump in her first televised debate on September 10. It will test Harris’ ability to respond in a highly provocative environment. Hillary Clinton once told me in an interview, ‘You have no idea what it’s like when Trump goes after you. They are a ball of fire.’ But Harris will benefit from that foreknowledge.
However, they would be unwise to underestimate the challenge of direct competition with a relentless and ruthless enemy. She is said to be spending a third of her time preparing for the debate. Kamala Harris’ style has some weaknesses. He lacks the element of ‘individualism’ that helped Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. The debate will test whether she can perform under pressure, which has been her weakness so far.
But they have a strong base of women who can support them. I just interviewed Illinois Senator Tommy Duckworth, who fought in the Iraq war, who responded in military terms that ‘she’s going to beat him (Trump) to dust.’
A woman running for the world’s highest office faces staggering challenges, including running a tough campaign and upholding patriotic American values (expressed on stage by a dozen national flags and the Stars and Stripes). (Happened by lapel pin).
They need to avoid being accused of the tough behavior that hurt Hillary Clinton in her run-in with Trump and yet appear fearless.
With the slogan ‘We’re not going back’ heard this week, Kamala Harris will have to show Americans that she can take them forward.
The Democratic National Convention is a reminder of how much women’s talent has grown in American politics over the past decades, and that no women have reached the Oval Office. If Kamala Harris makes history, she will have the power of sensible women behind her.
