Now that the news is official and U.S. President Joe Biden has decided to step aside and not seek reelection, Vice President Kamala Harris has set her sights on breaking America’s highest glass ceiling and becoming the country’s first female president.

Harris has received tremendous support, even receiving enough delegates to become the Democratic nominee at the upcoming Democratic National Convention, which is slated to take place in Chicago in late August.

Harris has received support from Biden, as well as a growing number of donors and outside groups, and several prominent Democratic politicians who had been regarded as presidential contenders.

Celebrities are now coming forward and endorsing Harris, with many more expected to do so.

Cardi B, Charli XCX, and Barbra Streisand have publicly endorsed her. Hollywood leaders Kerry Washington, Josh Gad, and Sherly Lee Ralph also shared their support for Harris.

Model Christie Brinkley posted on Instagram, “Sometimes the best man for the job is a WOMAN.”

“Kamala Harris for the people!! And we the people for Kamala Harris!!” she wrote alongside artwork depicting Harris as Rosie the Riveter. “…She’s earned her stripes, and she is a star.”

George Clooney, Jamie Lee Curtis, Spike Lee, and Bill and Hillary Clinton have all endorsed Harris.

The reason celebrities are important is because they play such an important role on social media, where they are able to galvanize their massive number of followers and convince them to vote for Harris. The extent of celebrity influence is known, and one simple tweet or Instagram post can change everything.

Interestingly, former U.S. President Barack Obama has not endorsed Harris, and much speculation has taken place over why. Many pundits say he wants an open contest and not a direct coronation of Harris. Obama published a statement saying, “We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead.”

“But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges.

“I believe that Joe Biden’s vision of a generous, prosperous and united America that provides opportunity for everyone will be on full display at the Democratic Convention in August.”

It’s true that Harris has yet to win Obama’s support, and while she does have the support of many others, she will need more than the influence and backing of celebrities to win in November.

If Harris were to become the Democratic nominee for president, she would need to address several key issues to reassure voters that she is the right choice as a leader.

The economy and economic recovery, as well as reducing inequality, would be paramount. This is the absolute first issue she would need to address, as this is the top concern of most Americans. Harris would need to outline her policies to support job creation, wage growth, and fair taxation.

Healthcare remains a significant concern, and Harris would need to outline plans for improving healthcare coverage, reducing prescription drug costs, and addressing disparities in access.

Climate change is a pressing issue, of course, especially for far-left progressives and younger voters, so presenting a clear plan to combat it, promote renewable energy, and ensure environmental justice will be crucial to her campaign.

Given her background as a prosecutor, Harris would also need to address criminal justice reform, including police reform, reducing mass incarceration, and tackling systemic racism.

Education reform is another critical area. The need is to improve the public education system, make college more affordable, and address student debt—an issue Biden has been tackling by canceling student loans.

She would need to propose comprehensive immigration reforms, including pathways to citizenship, humane border policies, and solutions for the root causes of migration.

National security and foreign policy would be essential topics, requiring a clear approach to cybersecurity, counterterrorism, and international relations.

Social justice and equality issues such as racial, gender, and LGBTQ+ rights, a major issue for many of Harris’s would-be supporters, would also demand her attention, advocating for policies that promote inclusivity and protect civil rights.

Harris will need to spend a significant amount of time tackling these issues with detailed and pragmatic solutions. By doing so, she could reassure voters of her capability to lead the country effectively – and beat Donald Trump to the White House.
