00:00One of those women that actually served in the U.S. Senate is Vice President Kamala Harris,

00:05who is at the top of the Democratic Party's ticket now and is poised to make history just

00:10like you are poised to make history if elected.

00:14What does it mean for you to be in that moment where you could potentially be in the Senate

00:22along with Kamala Harris as potentially being the president, along with another Black woman

00:27who may be able to represent the state of Delaware?

00:29Oh my God, you know what?

00:31I'm so grateful.

00:32It's more than I could have imagined.

00:34Really, when I initially announced my candidacy for Senate last year, there were no Black

00:39women in the Senate.

00:41And I didn't know that in this election cycle we would have the opportunity to vote for

00:45Kamala Harris for president.

00:48So it's exciting beyond what I can express.

00:51And I'm just so motivated to continue working, not only for my own election, but we've got

00:56to get Kamala Harris elected to president.

00:59And I think that our country is in good hands, and the joy that has really caught hold across

01:06the country is evidence of the fact that the country's ready for this kind of new leadership.

01:11They're ready to move forward and to move past Donald Trump, but certainly ready for

01:15Kamala Harris.
