Election Day marked a turning point for Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee aiming to become the first woman of Asian descent and Jamaican descent to hold the White House. While waiting for the results, Harris spent her time doing radio interviews and meeting voters in Pennsylvania before heading to her alma mater, Howard University, to follow the voting.
In a radio interview in Pittsburgh, Harris expressed her excitement about returning to the historic university, often called the “Black Harvard.” She graduated from there in 1989 and took her first steps in politics.
“Returning to my beloved university tonight is a full circle for me,” Harris said, emphasizing the importance of his connection to the institution. Security at the university was beefed up ahead of the event, with barriers and road closures making the area a safe haven for the vice president.
Before heading to the university, Harris shared a family dinner, a moment of conviviality that she considers an essential tradition. Throughout the day, she visited several locations in Pittsburgh, urging Americans to exercise their right to vote. Harris said: “We have to get this done. It’s Election Day, go out and vote!” Her campaign has been endorsed by swing state Gov. Josh Shapiro and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. One telling moment came when Harris stopped at the Puerto Rican restaurant Old San Juan Cafe in Berks County, where she interacted with customers and chose traditional dishes like fried plantains and cassava.
As the election results begin to emerge, Kamala Harris’s political future remains uncertain but fraught with possibility. Her campaign has demonstrated the importance of voter mobilization and community support. With a goal of making history on the doorstep of the White House, Harris continues to inspire citizens across the country and represents a new generation of leaders poised to change the course of American politics.
