Kamala Harris entered law school as the daughter of activists and came
out as a prosecutor — an evolution that shaped the politician she is
today. Now, as the vice president grapples with some of the thorniest
issues in politics and builds relationships with a wide array of
Democratic allies — which she could leverage in both the administration
and a future presidential campaign — even some of her closest allies
admit she needs help fending off incoming fire. POLITICO Magazine’s
Jesús A. Rodríguez and Playbook co-author Eugene Daniels dig into the
Veep’s law school past, her performance eight months in and how wearing
the mantle of “first” comes layered with racism and misogyny.
