And now, November is in sight
with the first black female
vice presidential
candidate of a major party
in Senator Kamala Harris.
How do you frame up
these events for people?
I thought that what you
said in your Instagram
when Joe Biden announced Senator
Harris as his running mate,
you posted this
powerful statement
on Instagram, which you all can
go and check for yourselves.
But can you tell us, number
one, how you sum all of this
and how you felt
on that day when
Senator Harris was announced?
Well, you know, I
think the beautiful thing
about these strange
and important times
is that we really can feel,
everyone knows that we're
in the midst of history.
And so often in our lives, we're
going through it day by day,
and you don't realize that
you are living history now.
But we all know.
You can talk to anyone.
This time will be
long remembered.
This time will be long studied.
And the question
is, what lessons
are we learning now that we
can take into the future?
And so I feel like every
day of this summer-- every
day since this all started--
I feel a reverence,
that the day is sacred,
that it is tumultuous
and often tragic,
but that there's a triumph,
and that the next day
will bring something new that
we can learn from, build upon.
