Harris lands on cover of Vogue
Vice President Harris appeared on the cover of Vogue Magazine's last edition ahead of Election Day, now less than a month away.
The photo, shot by photographer Annie Leibovitz, appears next to the words: "The candidate for our times."
Vogue, which endorsed Harris in July, in a Friday post on social platform X, praised the Democratic presidential nominee and acknowledged the uncertainty of the future for the Democratic party after President Biden decided to step aside from the race.
"Only rarely are individuals summoned for acts of national rescue, but in July, Vice President @KamalaHarris received one of those calls. With President Joe Biden’s decision to end his reelection campaign, the world looked to Harris with hopes and doubts," Vogue wrote, linking to an article about the cover.
The piece, written by Nathan Heller, details the vice president's policies related to top issues, including gun violence, reproductive rights and clean energy. Heller also spoke to 20 of Harris's former colleagues, who described her as a "roll-up-the-sleeves" leader.
Harris, in the article, outlined what her first call would be in the Oval Office if elected in November.
“One of my first calls — outside of family — will be to the team that is working with me on our plan to lower costs for the American people,” she said, according to the magazine. “It’s not just about publishing something in a respected journal. It’s not about a speech. It’s literally about, How does this hit the streets? How do people actually feel the work in a way that benefits them?”
When asked about how she would handle heightening tensions in the Middle East, Harris said that while she can't anticipate the future, she would focus on creating "'incentives' for de-escalation and a 'pathway' for stability," specifically related to Gaza, as opposed to Lebanon, which has seen increased violence.
In the Vogue interview, Harris also touched on two of the typical talking points around the tension in the region: "Israel's right to defend itself" against militant group Hamas and Palestinians' "right to dignity, security, freedom, and self-determination."
“There’s been a language and a conversation around what’s been happening, particularly around Israel and Gaza, that suggests that this is binary. It’s not," she said in the interview, adding "You’re not either for this one or for that one."
The vice president also said that she plans to get Roe v. Wade reinstated, which has been a focal point for her campaign.
The interview goes on to paint a picture of Harris's ties to other leaders — political and otherwise — such as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Oprah Winfrey. It also details her entrance to politics, her support of former President Obama during his first presidential run and her role as a California district attorney.
