Kamala Harris appears on digital Vogue as media blitz continues

 Vice President Kamala Harris is appearing on the cover of Vogue Magazine’s October digital cover, the latest in her media blitz this week as the election heads into the final stretch. The cover describes Harris as “the candidate for our times”

In the profile, Harris details what her priority would be on day one as president saying, “One of my first calls—outside of family—will be to the team that is working with me on our plan to lower costs for the American people” and she says she will also meet with “those who can help us put back in place the freedoms that have been taken away with the Dobbs decision,” which overturned Roe v. Wade, but acknowledged “that’s going to take some work.”

The vice president discussed the conflicts in the Middle East as CNN reports there is increasing frustration among Arab American leaders about Harris’ response to Israel’s recent actions in Lebanon. Michigan, which Biden narrowly won in 2020, will be a crucial battleground again this November and is home to a large Arab American population. Harris has dealt with pro-Palestinian protesters interrupting her speeches throughout her campaign.

“A Harris administration—to speak of myself in the third person, which makes me quite uncomfortable—would be about articulating those points and hopefully bringing some language that is reflective of the complexity and the nuance of what’s happening in the region,” she told “Vogue,” adding that “there’s been a language and a conversation around what’s been happening, particularly around Israel and Gaza, that suggests that this is binary. It’s not” and “You’re not either for this one or for that one.”

Harris’ upbringing, early career as a prosecutor and personal life are also discussed in the profile. Matthew Rothschild, a friend and LGBTQ advocate, remarks at one point about Harris’ fashion style, “I remember one time I saw her coming out of a dental surgery and she looked great.”

In addition to Vogue this week, Harris has appeared on “60 Minutes,” “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” “The Howard Stern Show,” the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, and a Univision town hall.
