Los Angeles Times introduces 'Covering Kamala Harris,' dedicated to her historic rise to the White House

Vice President Kamala Harris’s rise to power is an interesting story, especially she was picked by President Biden (or his handlers) after Democratic voters soundly rejected her own bid for the presidency and sent her packing before the Iowa caucuses. But Biden had already locked himself into picking a woman as a running mate, preferably one of color. That narrowed the field quite a bit, and Harris fit the bill.

As if we hadn’t heard enough already about Harris and her life (like the time she demanded “Fweedom!”), the Los Angeles Times is now announcing a beat dedicated exclusively to Harris, called “Covering Kamala Harris.” We kind of wish they’d hired someone who knew how to paint Kamala Harris so it didn’t look like her neck was broken:

Kamala Harris is the first vice president who is Black, South Asian, female and the direct descendants of immigrants.

By covering her you mean with golden robes and a tiara, right?

You should also cover Willie Brown, I mean, it’s no secret.

It'd be nice if the media gave Biden and Harris a few weeks to settle into power before beating them up this way. Sheesh. I mean, I'm as in favor of an adversarial press as the next person, but there are limits or decency and respect. https://t.co/ZSL27ux2ls

Will "'Covering Kamala Harris,' a beat dedicated to her historic rise to the White House" feature profiles of the people still lingering in prison due to her overzealous and punitive prosecutions as a prosecutor, all as a springboard to national politics & the Vice Presidency?

None of these things are personal merits or achievements. Why is it used to sanctify them?

Should have called it “That little girl was me” instead

We're living in an era where you can get propped up for not only doing nothing but also not believing in anything.

This election result has been the perfect example of failing upwards. Don’t worry if you don’t win a single primary and your numbers are in the single digits in even your home state while running, because that’s how you win, actually, and then become VP and eventually POTUS.

And is the Los Angeles Times getting ahead of itself covering Harris’s “historic rise to the White House”? We mean, the vice president has her own residence. She is still vice president, right?
