Forbes | Opinion: When it Comes to Breaking the Highest, and Hardest Glass Ceiling, Kamala Harris is Looking to Finish the Job
"On the second night of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) of 2016, Hillary Clinton appeared via satellite as a collage of all male presidents was graphically shattered to show her live image. In that moment, she said, “I can’t believe that we just put the biggest crack in that glass ceiling yet,” referring to what she called the “highest, hardest glass ceiling” of the U.S. presidency eight years prior. When Clinton takes to the DNC stage on Monday, she will do so again with the mission to see that ceiling shattered once and for all by Vice President Kamala Harris." -Dr. Kelly Dittmar, Director of Research at the Center for American Women and Politics

“Harris has the benefit of Hillary Clinton, who at least ran before as a national nominee. She did not have to contend with the racism that's coming Harris' way, but she certainly had to deal with the misogyny and sexism,” she says. “And not only does Harris have the benefit of someone who's done it before, but someone who's done it against the same person. So there's a lot that she and her campaign will know about in terms of what's coming.”- Debbie Walsh, Director of CAWP |
