A video featuring Kamala Harris and her great niece has been melting hearts of netizens across the world. The 56-year-old Harris, who is on track to become the first African-American and Indian-America Vice President in the Oval office, is seen conversing with her great niece, who says that she wants to be “a President.”
Harris tells her grand niece that she “could be President, just not now.”
She adds, “to be a President, you have to be over the age of 35.”
To Harris’ reply, the toddler quips, “Yeah, but I can be an astronaut president.”
Harris, who launched a failed Presidential bid in 2019, before dropping out, was ultimately picked as a running mate by Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden.
While several countries like Sri Lanka, India, England, Bangladesh, New Zealand and others have all elected a female representative to lead the country in the capacity of a Prime Minister or President; the United States, the world’s oldest democracy, is yet to elect a woman representative for the highest office in the land.
Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, had launched an unsuccessful campaign bid in 2016, ultimately losing to Republican candidate Donald Trump.
