Kamala Harris In The 2016 Election

759 Words4 Pages

Historically, throughout every presidential election the state and atmosphere of the country shifts; whether it be towards a negative or positive direction depending on the, subjective, perception of the citizen. In the United States of America, every four years, a new presidential candidate is chosen, through such, arguably life-changing event, the epitome of what a democracy looks like is showcased and performed for the world. As historic and important the 2016 election was in America, considering a woman and celebrity ran against each other, it is evident that what is to come, within the 2020 election, will only further highlight polarizing opinions/parties of American citizens; as it did with the 2016 presidential election. For a prospective …show more content…

“Why candidates win and why candidates loose” (American Politics Today, Bianco, Cannon, 218) is consequently a result relating to their campaign management/rendering. Through an image and issue oriented campaign, more specifically with active social media interaction, and ameliorating an essential, moderate, shared party identity, Kamala Harris has a realistic/crisp chance of winning the 2020 general election. Consequently, the named strategies can be utilized to overcome, unavoidable, challenges.
Each major political party, republican/democrat, has an elected candidate or “representative which will run against each other in the general election; along with an elected third-party candidate. Regarding, qualifications Kamala Harris is more than chartered to be the forefront …show more content…

In an issue oriented campaign, the focus is on a few issues, in hopes of seeking support from those who care largely about them (Ritchie, POSC010, Lecture, 2017), the crisps reality is, for Harris, nearly all of the issues she largely focuses on now and is extremely vocal out, abortion, gun regulation, health-care, immigration reform (Harris.Senate.Gov, 2017), are obvious topics that the democratic party has been advocating for and against in contemporary society. Thus, to be frank, she should not have much difficulty winning the primary election considering democratic voters will unapologetically align themselves with her arguably extreme views; as they have done before with Donald Trump in the RNC (Republican National Convention) and Bernie Sanders in the DNC, who lost to Hillary. However, assuming that Kamala Harris wins the democratic nomination and becomes the second woman to every run for president, in U.S history, a strong focus on an issue orientated campaign would be extremely hurtful considering within the general election, Harris must appeal to every American, not just those with a shared party

  • Summary Of Deliver The People's Message By Julia Azari

    Azari explained that when parties are shut out of power, the conversations about how to respond can lead to change. After the two terms of George W. Bush’s presidency, the divisions between his party’s more establishment wing and its populist sect had begun to emerge. While the traditional wing of the Republican Party stressed economic issues and business concerns, cultural issues such as same-sex marriage and immigration reform motivated the populist faction. During the Obama administration, the Democratic party has moved to the left on economic and social issues. As with George W. Bush, Barack Obama will not be succeeded by a president of the same party.

    There was a belief in the past that elections resolved big debates in the country and could be turning points of what the public thinks about the issues. But this did not transpire in 2012 and Balz sees the future of elections to be more of the same: he expects that they will be predicated on hate of the opponent divided along demographic and party lines, not the merits of the candidates and their policies; he predicts social media and technology as a whole to grow in importance and scope; and he believes debates will become more important while becoming less and less about the issues and more about

  • Pros And Cons Of Kevin De Leon

    982 Words  | 4 Pages

    With a net worth of at least 40 million, she has already raised $13 million to de Leon's paltry 433,000, so she can simply outspend de Leon on the way to reelection. She is also one of the most recognizable people in the Senate, and has a strong track record that many moderate Democrats can get behind. The #Me Too movement starting in late 2017 also helps Feinstein's candidacy. Electing a man to replace Feinstein, who was one of the first powerful women in politics, could be seen by some as a backwards step in the fight against the male-dominated American legislature. Although Feinstein did not win the endorsement of the California Democrats, she has powerful friends, including Kamala Harris, a known progressive, who have endorsed her.

  • Senator Susan Collins: A Political Analysis

    1596 Words  | 7 Pages

    The political region of the Northeast is predominately led by Democrats, so Collins stands out not only due to her status but her unorthodox-bipartisan approach to the issues she votes on and often crosses party lines to vote in favor a bill that her peers would vote against. In fact her voting record and political positions places her considerably more towards the centrist/moderate side of the party, something that is increasingly uncommon for the Republican party. For example, she voted no on a bill to harshen punishments for drug users in 1999 - one of only three Republicans to do so - as well as voting no to the constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, one of only four to do so. However this bilateral behavior has not negatively affected her standings with the voters or populace in general.

    The turmoil, upheaval, and controversy of the 2016 Trump election is a significant current event of the modern world, but this landslide election is not the first in America’s history to raise such conflicting opinions. The Revolution of 1800 was another shift in political history that impacted not only the candidates, but majority of the public. The defeat of John Adams to Vice President Thomas Jefferson led to the rise of the Democratic-Republican Party rule and the eventual demise of the Federalist Party. Often in politics, opposing views, scandals, and negative publicity plays a role in the election process, due to this, in both the 2016 election and 1800 election negative criticism from both parties was evident.

    Rebuilding the Grand Old Party We were all in. As president of the local Young Republicans chapter, I made the executive decision to shift our entire political operation (all five active members) to support a longshot political novice. We were committed to working for Republican nominee Sarah Davis in her bid to become the State Representative for southwest Houston. It seemed clear to me that Sarah Davis represented the future of the Party: a refreshing young candidate eager to listen to the concerns of the next generation, a successful female lawyer ready to alter the perception of a Texas politician, a self-described “rational Republican” willing to buck her Party’s establishment in support of progressive policy prescriptions.

  • Sheryl Sandberg Why We Have Too Few Women Leaders

    1707 Words  | 7 Pages

    In her widely watched 2010 TED talk “Why We Have Too Few Women Leaders” (currently with more than 1.5 million views) Sheryl Sandberg, currently Chief Operating Officer of Facebook (and the first woman to serve on Facebook's board) and formerly Vice President at Google, shares her experience of being one of the rare women in top global management positions and offers advice to women who would like to succeed in their corporate careers. In the 15-minute video, Sandberg asks how we can fix the problem of having too few women in top leadership positions in spite of many advances in women’s rights being made. She argues that the solution lies with women themselves, as individuals, and the messages they need to tell themselves and their daughters. This entails three steps: (1) ‘sit at the table’, meaning women should negotiate for themselves more assertively and stop underestimating their abilities; (2) ‘make your partner a real partner’ and establish shared/equal responsibilities between partners at home (i.e. with raising children and housework); and (3) ‘don’t ‘leave’ before you leave’, which means continuing to work at the best of your abilities (i.e. ‘leaning in’ instead of ‘leaning back’ when the possibility of having a child is entertained) until
