Harris Pays Tribute to Women Who Came Before Her
“I stand on their shoulders,” Vice President-elect Kamala Harris said in her victory speech on Saturday night.

We are so grateful to Joe and Jill for welcoming our family into theirs on this incredible journey. And to the woman most responsible for my presence here today, my mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, who is always in our hearts. [cheering and cars honking] When she came here from India at the age of 19, she maybe didn’t quite imagine this moment. But she believed so deeply in an America where a moment like this is possible. And so I am thinking about her and about the generations of women, black women, Asian, white, Latina, Native American women, who throughout our nation’s history have paved the way for this moment tonight: women who fought and sacrificed so much for equality and liberty and justice for all, including the black women who are often, too often, overlooked, but so often prove they are the backbone of our democracy. [cheering and cars honking] All the women who have worked to secure and protect the right to vote for over a century, 100 years ago with the 19th Amendment, 55 years ago with the Voting Rights Act, and now in 2020 with a new generation of women in our country who cast their ballots and continued the fight for their fundamental right to vote and be heard. [cheering and cars honking] Tonight I reflect on their struggle, their determination and the strength of their vision to see what can be, unburdened by what has been. And I stand on their shoulders. And what a testament it is to Joe’s character that he had the audacity to break one of the most substantial barriers that exists in our country and select a woman as his vice president. [cheering and cars honking] But while I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last.

Kamala Harris, the first woman, the first Black woman, and the first woman of Indian heritage to be elected vice president, said Saturday that “a new day for America” had arrived and thanked Americans for making their voices heard in a brief speech on Saturday night, hours after she and Joseph R. Biden Jr. had been declared the winners of the 2020 presidential election.
In her historic remarks, Ms. Harris recalled her mother, an immigrant who came to California as a teenager.
“She maybe didn’t imagine quite this moment,” Ms. Harris said of her mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris. “But she believed so deeply in America where a moment like this is possible, and so I am thinking about her and about the generations of women, Black women, Asian, white, Latina, Native American women — who throughout our nation’s history have paved the way for this moment — women who fought and sacrificed so much for equality and liberty and justice for all.”
Ms. Harris acknowledged “all the women who have worked to secure and protect the right to vote for over a century.

“Tonight, she said, “I reflect on their struggle, their determination, and the strength of their vision to see what can be unburdened by what has been. And I stand on their shoulders.”
Here is a transcript of Ms. Harris’s remarks as they were prepared for delivery.
Good evening.
Congressman John Lewis, before his passing, wrote: “Democracy is not a state. It is an act.”

  • The election. And its impact on you.

And what he meant was that America’s democracy is not guaranteed.
It is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it, to guard it and never take it for granted.
And protecting our democracy takes struggle.
It takes sacrifice. There is joy in it and there is progress.
Because “We The People” have the power to build a better future.
And when our very democracy was on the ballot in this election, with the very soul of America at stake, and the world watching, you ushered in a new day for America.

To our campaign staff and volunteers, this extraordinary team — thank you for bringing more people than ever before into the democratic process and for making this victory possible.
To the poll workers and election officials across our country who have worked tirelessly to make sure every vote is counted — our nation owes you a debt of gratitude as you have protected the integrity of our democracy.
And to the American people who make up our beautiful country — thank you for turning out in record numbers to make your voices heard.
I know times have been challenging, especially the last several months.
The grief, sorrow, and pain. The worries and the struggles.
But we’ve also witnessed your courage, your resilience, and the generosity of your spirit.
For four years, you marched and organized for equality and justice, for our lives, and for our planet.
And then, you voted. You delivered a clear message.
You chose hope, unity, decency, science, and, yes, truth.
You chose Joe Biden as the next President of the United States of America.
Joe is a healer. A uniter. A tested and steady hand.

A person whose own experience of loss gives him a sense of purpose that will help us, as a nation, reclaim our own sense of purpose.
And a man with a big heart who loves with abandon.
It’s his love for Jill, who will be an incredible first lady.

It’s his love for Hunter, Ashley, his grandchildren, and the entire Biden family.
And while I first knew Joe as Vice President, I really got to know him as the father who loved Beau, my dear friend, who we remember here today.
To my husband Doug, our children Cole and Ella, my sister Maya, and our whole family — I love you all more than I can express.
We are so grateful to Joe and Jill for welcoming our family into theirs on this incredible journey.
And to the woman most responsible for my presence here today — my mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, who is always in our hearts.
When she came here from India at the age of 19, maybe she didn’t quite imagine this moment.
But she believed so deeply in an America where a moment like this is possible.
So, I’m thinking about her and about the generations of women — Black Women.
Asian, White, Latina, and Native American women throughout our nation’s history who have paved the way for this moment tonight.

And to the children of our country, regardless of your gender, our country has sent you a clear message:Dream with ambition, lead with conviction, and see yourself in a way that others might not see you, simply because they’ve never seen it before.
And we will applaud you every step of the way.
To the American people:
No matter who you voted for, I will strive to be the vice president that Joe was to President Obama — loyal, honest, and prepared, waking up every day thinking of you and your families. Because now is when the real work begins.

The hard work. The necessary work. The good work. The essential work to save lives and beat this pandemic. To rebuild our economy so it works for working people.
To root out systemic racism in our justice system and society.
To combat the climate crisis.
To unite our country and heal the soul of our nation.
The road ahead will not be easy.
But America is ready. And so are Joe and I.
We have elected a president who represents the best in us.
A leader the world will respect and our children can look up to.
A commander in chief who will respect our troops and keep our country safe.
And a president for all Americans.
It is now my great honor to introduce the president-elect of the United States of America, Joe Biden.

SNL’s Kamala Costume Was Originally a Melania Costume

The most impressive thing about last week’s episode of Saturday Night Live wasn’t the writing, the acting, or even Dave Chappelle as host. It was Maya Rudolph’s costume as Kamala Harris in the cold open. On Saturday, November 7, Joe Biden was named the winner of the 2020 presidential election, and at 8:30 p.m. ET that evening, Vice President–elect Kamala Harris took the stage with him in Wilmington, Delaware, in a cream suit and distinctive pussy-bow silk blouse. Three hours later, SNL was scheduled to premiere, and the very first sketch of the evening was based around that victory address, so Rudolph had to look the part. According to an interview with PopSugar, SNL’s costume designer Tom Broecker and wardrobe supervisor Dale Richards put the look together in 85 minutes and, ironically, repurposed a Melania Trump costume to pull it off: “Rudolph ended up performing the cold open in nude Jimmy Choo pumps and the cream suit that was, interestingly enough, originally purchased from a suit supplier a year earlier for Cecily Strong to play Melania Trump in a sketch, though it was never used.” We can all agree that the suit ended up serving a much nobler purpose, in the end. Good for her (the suit).

SNL Had 85 Minutes to Re-Create Kamala Harris's White Pantsuit For Maya Rudolph — Here's How They Did It

Kamala Harris walked on stage in Wilmington, DE, to address the nation as vice president-elect around 8:30 p.m. ET. In that moment, the Saturday Night Live cast and crew had just began dress rehearsal for the show, which starts promptly at 11:30 p.m. ET. The mood? Intense, especially for the costume department, which includes producer and costume designer Tom Broecker and wardrobe supervisor Dale Richards, who was in charge of making the outfit actor Maya Rudolph would wear as Harris for the cold open. "I had a member of my team working on each piece: the blouse, the jacket, and the pants," Richards told POPSUGAR.
Rudolph had already perfectly pulled off Kamala's Converse sneakers on the show — would she do this Carolina Herrera white victory suit and coordinated silk pussy-bow blouse as much justice? Of frickin' course — even with such a limited amount of time. We spoke with Broecker and Richards about the speedy process. They confirmed that everything Rudolph was wearing to pay homage to Kamala's own salute to the women's suffragist movement was, in fact, pulled from stock or made from scratch.
"[It's] an impossible task for any other place other than Saturday Night Live. We have the best people anywhere in the world."
"My assistant started capturing screen grabs of everything [Harris] was wearing so we could get all the details right — the shoes, the jewelry, the hair, makeup, blouse, and the suit. By 9 p.m. we had pulled all the 'research' photos together and started looking through our stock to see if there was anything that could work. Every store in the city had been closed for hours. There was no way to shop this look anywhere, except in our back rooms," Broecker said, setting the scene.
He continued: "A box of cream charmeuse fabric was found to make the blouse, and then a cream double-breasted suit was found that could be completely recut and altered to make the suit work. It would require an incredible amount of work to recut a double-breasted suit into a single-breasted suit, but I work with the most incredible tailors in the world. They put the jacket on Maya's mannequin form in the office and went to work, just like in the movie Cinderella. Eighty minutes later, and four tailors exhausted, Maya did a fitting. It was perfect and she was ready to go to the stage. As she was leaving her dressing room, I realized she didn't have her flag pin on her lapel. Her dresser went running into the wardrobe room to get her flag pin. I will say this: nowhere else in the world could this happen."
Rudolph ended up performing the cold open in nude Jimmy Choo pumps and the cream suit that was, interestingly enough, originally purchased from a suit supplier a year earlier for Cecily Strong to play Melania Trump in a sketch, though it was never used. All these minor details are extremely important to Broecker and his team, who confirmed that Harris's small touches with her clothing, like her meaningful jewelry or her Converse, define her as a real person. "I believe fashion is always incredibly important in helping an actor play a character. Whether that character be a real person or an 'invented' character, that actor must rely on costume to help them define their character . . . [it's] an impossible task for any other place other than Saturday Night Live. We have the best people anywhere in the world," Broecker went on to say.
Broecker and Richards also confirmed that they do not have contact with anyone on Harris's team, so they'd have no way of being notified ahead of time what she might wear for any one event. "Even if we had a contact in Kamala's camp, by the time they told us who designed it, the stores would be closed and it would be way too late to source it," Richards said. So, if you thought there might be some sort of "cheating" involved in this crucial process, think again. Ahead, see how similar both looks are, from the stage in Delaware to the stage in New York just three hours later.

Future president? Kamala Harris now 'underwater' as sinking popularity alarms Democrats

Kamala Harris has become the most unpopular US vice president six months into an administration since at least the 1970s, according to polls. Alarmed Democrat strategists are grappling with the Vice President's floundering poll numbers which show she is now "underwater," meaning more Americans disapprove, than approve, of her job performance. The White House intends to deploy her only in certain areas to campaign ahead of next year's midterm Congressional elections, and will attempt to raise her profile by sending her on foreign trips in the coming months.
