June 28, 2019The California Senator Kamala Harris was the star of the second round of the debate among the Democratic candidates for US presidency. On racism and civil rights, he managed to corner the favorite candidate, former vice president Joe Biden. After an hour of debate, research on Harris recorded a surge of 500%, according to Google Trends. Research on former Colorado governor John Hickenlooper and the mayor of South Bend, among other protagonists of today's debate, has increased by 300%.The clash between Harris and Biden was the most significant moment of the evening, with her attacking him for working with two segregationist senators and opposing public school buses of which she, as a black woman, personally benefited . "I don't think" that Biden is a racist "but on these issues" there cannot be an intellectual debate between the democrats. We must take them seriously and we must act promptly, "said Harris." I do not praise the racists ", was Biden's reply after the gaffe that saw him cite the former segregationist senators of the 1970s, James Eastland and Herman Talmadge, as an example of his ability to relate to everyone. "You agree today that you made a mistake in opposing school buses in America," insisted Harris. "I did not oppose school buses," she replied, "I am opposed to school buses ordered by the Department of Education ".
And if Biden and Sanders give Trump the "serial hepatological liar" and the "racist", Harris challenges them on their own ground, going directly to the tycoon offensive: "With his policies on immigrants he betrays the values of America". The applause is all for her. Even when, still on immigration, he has the courage to break away from his president, Barack Obama, saying he did not agree with the policy of forced repatriation started in his administration. Thus, at the end of the evening, the hypothesis of a Biden-Harris ticket, which has been aired in the last few weeks, seems definitively gone. While on the social already fantastic on a possible dream-team: Kamala and Major Pete, the latter only 37 years old, less passionate than the senator, colder, but no less prepared and inspired. And above all capable of speaking and getting in tune with the millennials. "This is the moment of my generation in Washington. In the future I want to look back and see that challenges such as the fight against climate change or that of a fairer and fairer tax system have been solved by my generation."
