So potent is the backlash against identity politics, Kamala Harris has been largely and deliberately silent on the historic nature of her candidacy and potential victory.
It is the dissonance at the heart of Kamala Harris 's campaign that tells the story of where we are at in 2024.
The Harris strategy has been widely lauded as correcting the mistakes of the 2016 Clinton campaign, which overly focused on the election of the first female president. As the racist and sexist rhetoric of her opponents has increased, Harris has stood up to denounce it without ever including herself in the narrative.

"We expect her to be intelligent and articulate, to have a clear set of policies, to never show too much anger, to prove time and time again that she belongs," Michelle Obama said in Michigan this week.
