That’s correct! Kamala Harris’s nomination as the Vice Presidential candidate for the Democratic Party in the 2020 U.S. Elections had a significant impact on a lot of communities. Her nomination as the first woman of African-American and South Asian descent to be nominated for national office by a major political party motivated many women, minorities, and people of color. It served as a powerful affirmation of the potential for women to reach the highest levels of government, which likely contributed to the surge in motivation to vote among women.
