The Democratic base wants to make history........

Everywhere you looked on the map last Tuesday night, Democratic voters were backing women -- and oftentimes women of color.
Which brings us to the 2020 Democratic presidential race. And specifically to California Sen. Kamala Harris.

Harris is in her first term as a senator from the country's largest state. When she won in 2016, she made history as the first African-American woman and the first Indian-American woman to represent California in the Senate.

Starting to get a sense for where we're headed here? We've always ranked Harris highly in these rankings -- due to the importance of California within the broader Democratic Party and the number of major donors in the state who would gladly help fund Harris' national ambitions.

I'm not a big fan of Chris Cillizza but I think this article is spot on. I love Kamala Harris. I want a woman president, dammit! Is that much for a older woman to ask for? Before I die please. (I'm not going yet that I know of but still)

I don’t know much about Abrams outside of making a super close race in Georgia, but certainly she must be impressive.

races, religions and everything. It gives me a lot of hope.
Ps: the only thing better would be a Congress with not one man in it.
