Vice President Kamala Harris has been the invisible woman in the mainstream media when it comes to reporting on her accomplishments. Her occasional gaffes, however, have received more attention, while on social media she has been barraged with toxic, racist, and sexist comments by right-wing detractors.
But Harris is now increasingly taking on all the naysayers as evidenced by both last Sunday’s interview with Bill Whitaker on CBS News’ “60 Minutes” and an in-depth profile by Elaina Plott Calabro in the current issue of The Atlantic. And as both pieces make clear, Harris is not hiding in the wings; she’s taking on a more visible role in the 2024 presidential campaign to shore up support among the Democratic base, especially among young voters.
