Kamala Harris, vice president of the United States and Democratic Party candidate in the American election, is the subject of this week’s edition of Time magazine. The publication, released this Monday (12), shows the path taken by the Californian prosecutor to reach the nomination in the race for the White House and the main challenges she must face in the dispute against former president Donald Trump, candidate for the Republican Party .
In the image that illustrates the magazine’s cover, Time merged Harris’ portrait into a painting with images of her supporters at campaign events, highlighting the popular mobilization that followed her nomination and Joe Biden’s exit from the race.

“Harris achieved the fastest climate change in modern political history. A dispute that revolved around the cognitive decline of a geriatric president was transformed: Joe Biden left, Harris entered and a second presidency of Donald Trump no longer seems inevitable”, wrote the journalist who wrote the article, Charlotte Alter.
The publication also highlights the way in which Harris was able to get closer to young voters in the USA. Mainly using social media strategies and, at the same time, collecting the support of great personalities from Generation Z, such as British singer Charli XCX and American Mega Thee Stallion.
“Harris’s rebranding — the warrior-happy attitude, the viral memes, the eye-rolling at Republican “weirdos” — has already done what no Trump opponent has ever been able to do: steal her spotlight.” , highlights the text.
Time still points to the antagonism between Kamala and Trump. The Democratic candidate was a public prosecutor and Trump is a politician convicted of tax fraud; the Democrat is a defender of reproductive rights and the Republican was responsible for the Supreme Court nominations that rolled back federal abortion access. She is linked to the new progressive generations and he is a 78-year-old conservative Republican.
“Whether Harris can sustain his early success is an open question. What is clear is that it changed the trajectory of the election”, concludes the text.
