Kamala Harris, 54

S(N$TO5 &$L,)O5N,$

The Iormer prosecutor spent 2 years in law eniorcement serving two terms as San )rancisco’s ɿrst Iemale district attorney beiore becoming the ɿrst woman elected as &aliiornia’s attorney general. Harris jumped to national Iame in 20 as the ɿrst ,ndian $merican member oi the Senate winning a seat on the Judiciary &ommittee. Harris’s persistent questioning oi Supreme &ourt nominee Brett .avanaugh accused oi sexual assault during gavel to gavel coverage oi his testimony burnished her reputation Ior ɿerce advocacy. $nd she has taken part in grassroots movements within the party such as calling on the country to consider abolishing U.S. ,mmigrations and &ustoms (niorcement.

When asked about a possible 2020 bid she has said she’s ţnot ruling it out.ť But as a Ireshman senator with little experience in national politics there have been missteps. The leit gave her heat Ior taking a trip to the Hamptons in 20 to schmooze with wealthy Iormer Hillary &linton donors a move that progressives saw as inconsistent with their brand. She has also had to deiend a decision she made as &aliiornia’s attorney general to not prosecute current Treasury Secretary Steven 0nuchin with violating state Ioreclosure laws. —RT
