Harris will start laying out her campaign in Oakland, California on January 27th. Harris, the junior senator from California, is the fifth Democrat to announce that she’s running for president. She was preceded by Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julian Castro and Congressperson Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI). As of right now, Elizabeth Warren is the only true competition for Kamala Harris in the Democratic Party. She comes into the campaign with some very good public showings as a member of the Senate Judiciary committee that shredded Brett Kavanaugh during his Supreme Court hearings in 2018. Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are rumored to be making an announcement for running for President of the United States of America in 2020. Other notable democratic candidates are Cory Booker, which he has been in the public eye for his new romance with Rosario Dawson. Also, Beto O’Rourke could be running for President he has been endorsed by our First Lady Beyonce Knowles-Carter for his run for senate in Texas. Kamala Harris will be the only black woman running, and in a race that runs through South Carolina in the first three primaries that likely will count for something.
