Kamala Harris's date with history
By Lauren Leader, opinion contributor — 06/30/21 07:00 AM EDT

Rarely do U.S. vice presidents command much interest or attention. Though they are given a platform, their spotlight is generally dim, often by design, given that their words or deeds might detract from the president. But this week holds a big opportunity for Kamala Harris to make her mark and, in so doing, set the stage for her own history-making legacy.

Vice President Harris today will deliver her most high-profile speech to date, when she addresses the United Nations Generation Equality Forum’s opening session, along with French President Emmanuel Macron, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres. 

According to the 19th News(letter), Harris will speak about the need for global collaboration to advance equity and will announce U.S. commitments to address gender-based violence, economic justice, and sexual and reproductive rights.

Harris’s speech most certainly will be closely watched at home and abroad. Hers is no average vice presidency. The very fact of her occupying the role, and the intersection of history, global change and circumstances that led her there, make the stakes for this speech exceptionally high and her opportunity to make a mark internationally exceptionally big. As with so much in her portfolio, Harris carries many burdens: She must make a case to the world for progress while facing an uphill battle for progress at home. She must blaze a trail of her own making while remaining the loyal No. 2. And she must take her own stand, setting a vision for a better future against the challenging realities of the past and present.

The Hill has outdone itself with this opinion piece.  Harris is the second coming. After all "Hers is no average vice presidency. The very fact of her occupying the role, and the intersection of history, global change and circumstances that led her there, make the stakes for this speech exceptionally high and her opportunity to make a mark internationally exceptionally big."

They've also outdone themselves with anodyne cliches.  This sounds like a High School Valedictory speech :

"As with so much in her portfolio, Harris carries many burdens: She must make a case to the world for progress while facing an uphill battle for progress at home. She must blaze a trail of her own making while remaining the loyal No. 2.

She's quite the Number 2, alright.  That reminds me, I just had my first coffee and it's time for me to make a Number 2.

Outside of the leftist "equity" pap there is absolutely NO indication in this hopeful piece of what Harris would stand for. It's as if her policies are of no concern to The Hill - she's 'black' and a female (and leftist), thats enough.
