Kamala Harris Will Run For President In 2020


Kamala Harris announced earlier today that she is running for president of the United States in 2020. Harris is ready to combat the injustices done within the past two years of the Trump presidency.

In a brief video from her campaign, Harris called on her supporters to join with her to “claim our future.”

“Justice. Decency. Equality. Freedom. Democracy. These aren’t just words. They’re the values we as Americans cherish. And they’re all on the line now,” Harris said in the video, teasing her official kickoff in her birthplace of Oakland next Sunday.

“The future of our country depends on you and millions of others lifting our voices to fight for our American values,” the Democratic California senator said. “That’s why I’m running for president of the United States. “I’m running to lift those voices, to bring our voices together.”

Harris is the first African-American woman to announce a run for the White House in 2020, and second Black woman to run for the presidency.
