We wake up to a little better world, when it became clear that Donald Trump had lost the presidential election to Joe Biden. It’s worth noting that American reporters say they’ve never seen people like people and excitement after an election. As people interviewed on the streets said: This was both a celebration of incoming President Biden and a celebration that Trump will no longer be the most powerful man in the world. And as Van Jones on CNN and Donna Brazile on Fox News commented in tears: “It’s hard to explain how much it means to minorities in America that they no longer have a president who rates people by origin and skin color. Commentators said Trump made millions of Americans feel like they were not Americans. Biden has a big and difficult job ahead of him: uniting a divided America.
Therefore, it is very appropriate that the elections also give the United States its first vice president. Kamala Harris is America’s own melting pot. He has an Indian mother and a Jamaican father, who met as civil rights activists at the University of Berkeley. Harris was bussed to school in a white neighborhood as a child, and is married to a Jewish man. She graduated from Howard University, one of the top two places blacks could pursue higher education. Harris was the first female prosecutor in San Francisco, the first with an African-American background and the first with an Asian-American background. She was also the first female state attorney in California. She is now the first woman to be elected vice president of the United States.
A glass roof is broken. Harris can also crush the greatest of all and become president. She is already the favorite to win the presidential election in four years, as Joe Biden at the inauguration in January 2021 will be 78 years old, older than Ronald Reagan when he resigned as the oldest American president of all time. No one should have doubts about her ambitions, as she also ran as a presidential candidate in this round.
– I am the first woman to be elected to this position, but I don’t want to be the last, Harris said in his speech on Sunday night Norwegian time.
And as an echo of the hopeful words of Hillary Clinton in the last elections:
Because every girl who looks tonight sees that this is a land of opportunity.
Finally, hope is back in American politics.
