Vogue magazine published its glowing profile of Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday, revealing a lengthy narrative of what it was like for her when she was dragged into the presidential race to claim the Democratic nomination after President Joe Biden dropped out.
Harris attended an interview and participated in a photo shoot with famed photographer Annie Leibovitz for the profile at her home on October 7.
the cover characteristics Harris wearing her own Gabriela Hearst suit and $800 Tiffany earrings at the vice president’s residence as he describes her as “the candidate of our times.”
There are few new details about Harris in the profile, but the author accompanies her on the campaign trail and speaks to people in her circle who describe her “as a leader with her sleeves rolled up.”
Harris says if she is elected president, her first action will be to reduce costs for the American people.
‘It’s literally about: How does this get to the streets? How do people really feel about work in a way that benefits them? she explains. Harris also promises to begin pushing through Congress for federal legislation that would legalize abortion.
“Work is perceived to be a happy word for Harris,” the profile notes, as Harris admits “talking about myself in the third person… makes me feel quite uncomfortable.”
Harris also jokes about the mockery surrounding his use of Venn diagrams as he speaks.
“People, at this point, have memes about my love of Venn diagrams,” she admits, while talking about how she will govern as president.
Harris has expensive fashion tastes, including Cartier watches, Tiffany gold necklaces, and multiple pearl necklaces.
The profile takes the reader through various aspects of his biography, with glowing reviews of his political history before finally concluding with behind-the-scenes details of his campaign.
The Vogue profile is the latest piece of Harris’ media blitz with just 25 days left until the presidential election. Harris attended interviews with Howard Stern, The View, Stephen Colbert and even the sex podcast Call Her Daddy.

The publication of the profile sparked a backlash on social media from conservatives who felt she should not have posed for photos with an elite fashion magazine while people were still suffering from the devastating hurricanes.
“She doesn’t care about Americans,” wrote Conservative activist Steve Cortés on social networks. “The only thing he cares about is power.”
The Trump campaign criticized Harris for holding her cover photo shoot on October 7, the anniversary of the terrorist attacks on Israel.
“On the one-year anniversary of October 7 and as bodies were recovered from Hurricane Helene, Kamala Harris sat down for a photo shoot with Vogue.” wrote Karoline Leavitt, national press secretary for former President Donald Trump.
The profile and photos were well received by Harris and her followers, a very different reaction than a controversial cover featuring her election as vice president in 2021.
Harris hated the 2021 cover, which showed her in a full-body photo against a backdrop of pink and green silk drapes, dressed in an almost casual dark jacket, fitted black pants, a white T-shirt, and black Converse sneakers.
The new profile features snippets of details from Harris’ campaign activity at a Pennsylvania pretzel factory, the Democratic convention, her campaign event with Liz Cheney and, finally, the moment she takes the stage with Oprah for a campaign rally.
Behind the scenes, the profile’s author details Harris as he prepares to take the stage.
“In the dark, he seems to allow himself the greatest luxury for someone who, for more than a month, has been everything to everyone on stages and cameras all the time: being invisible. Harris joins his hands palm to palm, tucks them between his knees and she lets her shoulders slump forward and her neck lean toward the monitor, rolling a pill on her tongue. For a few moments, she truly looks like “one of us”: an American, tired after a day of meetings, travel, and speeches. , giving way to gravity and television,” reveals the author.
Finally, Harris takes the stage and the author concludes that “the crowd rises to its feet, the stagehand gives the go signal, and Harris runs toward the light.”
