When Kamala Harris was young, she often accompanied her parents to civil rights marches—so many, in fact, that when her mother asked a frustrated Kamala what she wanted, the young girl responded with: “Freedom!” As Kamala grew from a small girl in Oakland to a senator running for president, it was this long-fostered belief in freedom and justice for all people that shaped her into the inspiring figure she is today.

And now this dedication has led her all the way to being elected Vice President of the United States and a likely 2024 Presidential candidate.

Download or read book Madam Speaker written by Susan Page and published by Twelve. This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! The definitive biography of Nancy Pelosi, the most powerful woman in American political history, written by New York Times bestselling author and USA Today Washington bureau chief Susan Page. Featuring more than 150 exclusive interviews with those who know her best—and a series of in-depth, news-making interviews with Pelosi herself—MADAM SPEAKER is unprecedented in the scope of its exploration of Nancy Pelosi’s remarkable life and of her indelible impact on American politics. Before she was Nancy Pelosi, she was Nancy D’Alesandro. Her father was a big-city mayor and her mother his political organizer; when she encouraged her young daughter to become a nun, Nancy told her mother that being a priest sounded more appealing. She didn’t begin running for office until she was forty-six years old, her five children mostly out of the nest. With that, she found her calling. Nancy Pelosi has lived on the cutting edge of the revolution in both women’s roles and in the nation’s movement to a fiercer and more polarized politics. She has established herself as a crucial friend or formidable foe to U.S. presidents, a master legislator, and an indefatigable political warrior. She took on the Democratic establishment to become the first female Speaker of the House, then battled rivals on the left and right to consolidate her power. She has soared in the sharp-edged inside game of politics, though she has struggled in the outside game—demonized by conservatives, second-guessed by progressives, and routinely underestimated by nearly everyone. All of this was preparation for the most historic challenge she would ever face, at a time she had been privately planning her retirement. When Donald Trump was elected to the White House, Nancy Pelosi became the Democratic counterpart best able to stand up to the disruptive president and to get under his skin. The battle between Trump and Pelosi, chronicled in this book with behind-the-scenes details and revelations, stands to be the titanic political struggle of our time.

Book excerpt: The story of Kamala Harris's presidency is one of historic firsts, transformative leadership, and a profound commitment to the ideals of justice, equality, and progress. As the first woman, the first Black woman, and the first person of South Asian descent to hold the office of President of the United States, Harris shattered barriers and redefined what was possible in American politics. Her ascent to the highest office in the land was not just a personal achievement, but a milestone in the nation's ongoing journey toward a more inclusive and representative democracy. This book chronicles the pivotal moments, challenges, and triumphs of Kamala Harris's presidency, offering a detailed exploration of her impact on the United States and the world. It is a story of resilience in the face of unprecedented crises-a global economic downturn, a lingering pandemic, and deep political polarization. It is also a story of hope and renewal, as Harris led the nation through a period of significant transformation, advancing bold policies that sought to create a more just and equitable society. Throughout her presidency, Harris demonstrated a unique blend of empathy and pragmatism, qualities that defined her leadership style and endeared her to millions of Americans. From her decisive actions on economic recovery and healthcare reform to her unwavering commitment to combating climate change and advancing civil rights, Harris's administration was marked by a determination to address the most pressing challenges of our time with both vision and resolve. But Harris's presidency was about more than just policy. It was about representation-about showing the world that the highest office in the land was not just for a select few, but for anyone, regardless of gender, race, or background. Her partnerships with Vice President Tim Walz, and later Vice President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, another trailblazing leader, further underscored this message, signaling a new era of leadership that was diverse, dynamic, and deeply connected to the lived experiences of ordinary Americans. This book dives into the key moments that defined Harris's time in office, from her historic inauguration to her successful re-election campaign, and the legacy she left behind. It explores the long-term effects of her policies on American society and the global stage, as well as the challenges she faced in a deeply divided political landscape. Kamala Harris's presidency was not just a chapter in the history of the United States; it was a turning point-a moment when the nation took bold steps toward a more inclusive, just, and prosperous future. This is the story of that journey.
