Kamala Harris looks and sounds like a president — so much so that you almost forget that if she wins she will be the first woman to hold the office. From her impeccably tailored suits to the authority in her voice to her confidence and ease in the spotlight, this is a person who is clearly ready to take on the most powerful job in the world.
Harris' acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention Thursday night was pitch perfect, filled with warm biographical details in the beginning before becoming deeper and more serious as she talked about the issues facing the country, the threat from Donald Trump and America's place in the world. She is a mature, confident, leader who sounds optimistic, patriotic and strong.
