Senator Kamala Harris, a California Democrat, announced her candidacy for president on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and nearly 50 years after Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm became the first black woman to seek the highest office.
Harris didn't mention Donald Trump's name in her announcement video, posted Monday morning on Twitter. The pro-LGBTQ junior senator and former California attorney general featured an inclusive message, highlighting words like "truth, justice, decency, equality."
\u201cI'm running for president. Let's do this together. Join us: https://t.co/9KwgFlgZHA\u201d— Kamala Harris (@Kamala Harris) 1548074103
Harris has made a name for herself as a fierce interrogator of Republicans that appear before her on the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Select Committee on Intelligence; she also refused to let Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh skate by during his contentious confirmation hearings. Harris will compete for the Democratic nomination with other LGBTQ allies like Senator Elizabeth Warren and former Housing and Urban Development Director Julian Castro.
