Hillary Clinton casts Harris in the lineage of female political firsts

Hillary Clinton highlighted Monday the history that Kamala Harris could make if she becomes the first woman elected president, referencing the proverbial glass ceiling the former secretary of state tried to but failed to break during her 2016 campaign for the White House.

“Together, we put a lot of cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling,” Clinton told the crowd at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago about her historic run eight years ago. “On the other side of that glass ceiling is Kamala Harris, raising her hand, and taking the oath of office as our 47th president of the United States.”
