THE ANGELS.

Viruses, fires, homelessness and emigration.

When California has been in the spotlight in recent years, it has been one crisis after another.

With House daughter Kamala Harris as the nation’s second most powerful politician in the White House, hopes for a better future for America’s most populous state are kindled.

Most California residents breathed a sigh of relief Wednesday. They did so after living for four years with a policy that is not viewed as positive for California.

Donald Trump never hid the fact that he did not like the many years of democratic rule on the west coast of the United States. Several of the laws he was involved in enforcing, including the one limiting private tax deductions, were seen as a direct attack on the population both here and in New York.

Even then, Harris, 56, fought back. But as a senator from San Francisco, she was in the minority.

“This has not been an easy time,” he wrote earlier this week in a debate article in the San Francisco Chronicle.

Need better relationships

Now the situation is different. Her Senate seat has been filled by fellow party member and California resident Alex Padilla, while she has been sworn in as the first female vice president of the United States.

It will be sold to shape America’s policy for the next four years. If all goes well, he is considered to have a good chance of even replacing Biden (given that the 78-year-old president has already stated that he has no intention of trying to be reelected).

Kamala Harris has the opportunity to create a better future for her home state of California.

In California, you are not expected to forget where you came from.

The state is in dire need of improving relations with the federal government in Washington.

Or as she wrote herself before assuming her new position on Wednesday:

“The last four years have tested us as a nation.”

Wants to form a new state

In his first speech as president, Biden spoke of America’s need for healing, that the divided country must unite rather than divide. This is especially true in California.

In the northern parts around Redding, Trump’s support remains so strong that there is talk of breaking free and forming a new state: Jefferson.

It is not clear how the inhabitants will be converted. But something must be done to reverse the trend in this state. One simply cannot afford more people to follow billionaire Elon Musk and many other wealthy people who have moved in in protest at what they call the failure of the state on various fronts.

Maybe Harris is the one who can do it. She is tough anyway. She got the vice president job, despite the fact that during the Democrats’ battle for the presidential nominee job, she called Biden a longtime and suggested he might be a racist.

If it created bitter feelings between her and Biden, they were impressed Wednesday. During the solemn ceremony in Washington, the president and vice president displayed a proud and united front.

The idea is now that it will carry out the same bridge building in national politics.

“Very, very often he will be in the Senate and he will approach the senators and try to pass the agenda,” Corey Booker, a Democratic senator from New Jersey, told the New York Times.

It should be able to pave the way for positive effects in California.

In any case, it is already possible to affirm that only the appointment of Harris has given the state a ray of hope so long awaited.
