Elections and Pro-Prosecutor Culture

Abstract

The 2020 presidential election and campaign leading up to it was unique and historic for a veritable panoply of reasons. Perhaps one of the most momentous events of the campaign season was then Democratic nominee Joe Biden announcing his choice of vice-presidential nominee, Kamala Harris. As the first woman, Black, and Asian American vice-presidential nominee and, eventual, vice president, Harris has already become something larger than her own self — a symbol of hope for the many Americans and others around the world who have been waiting for more diverse people in the highest levels of American government.
