She’s already broken barriers, and now Kamala Harris could shatter several more after President Joe Biden abruptly ended his reelection bid and endorsed her.

Biden announced Sunday that he was stepping aside after a disastrous debate performance catalyzed fears that the 81-year-old was too frail for a second term.

Harris is the first woman, Black person or person of South Asian descent to serve as vice president. If she becomes the Democratic nominee and defeats Republican candidate Donald Trump in November, she would be the first woman to serve as president.

Biden said Sunday that choosing Harris as his running mate was “the best decision I’ve made” and endorsed her as his successor.

    So some words we’re going to take strictly literally but some words were going to take with simple intention?

      Why would you think she’s literally from India? What tf are you even talking about.

        I was talking about the poster I was replying to expecting people to take “non-white” in a very literal way, meanwhile using “Indian” in a non-literal way.

        Like, who complains about a news outlet not referring to her as Indian when they did say “South Asian decent”?

        Anyway, they’re no longer the top comment and have been downvoted appropriately, so I’m not really worried about it any more.

        Sorry if I offended you, though. Wasn’t trying to be offensive.

          Ah gotcha, I see what you mean now.
          Oh no worries my friend. Same here.
          I really have to stop going into political posts for a few months.

          Enjoy your evening
