California Voice: Harris can beat Trump and prove we are ready for woman president

The question everyone has been asking in hushed tones now grows to a roar: Does Kamala Harris have what it takes to beat Donald Trump?

God, I hope so. The future of American democracy might depend on it.

Harris’ sudden candidacy represents hope that is desperately needed among the centrist and left-leaning American electorate, many of whom could not imagine President Joe Biden beating Trump.

Now that the party has listened to voters and Biden has been convinced to step aside, it’s time for us to line up behind Harris.
