US vice president Kamala Harris appeared on the cover of Vogue 's October digital issue, featured in a profile that dubs her the “candidate for our times” ahead of the upcoming November presidential election .
The cover, released Friday, features the Democratic presidential nominee smiling at her Washington, DC home in a portrait by photographer Annie Leibovitz. Harris is dressed in a Gabriela Hearst suit and wears her now-famous Tiffany earrings , which previously sparked conspiracy theories during her debate with former President Donald Trump, with some claiming they were disguised audio devices.
In the article, Vogue highlights Harris' rise in politics, calling her someone “summoned for acts of national rescue” after President Joe Biden decided to end his reelection campaign. “With President Joe Biden’s decision to end his reelection campaign, the world looked to Harris with hopes and doubts,” the profile says.
Recalling the moment Biden informed her of his decision, Harris said she had been making pancakes with her nieces when the president’s call came through. “It’s Joe Biden,” she remembered telling her family, adding that it was “a dramatic turn to the day", as quoted by the New York Post .
Harris shared that she couldn’t immediately reach her husband, Doug Emhoff , who was in Los Angeles when flights were grounded due to a computer glitch. “I’m like, ‘Where is he? Somebody find him! Why isn’t he answering?’” she said, eventually learning he was working out.
The vice president also discussed her campaign plans, revealing she intends to prioritise lowering costs for Americans. “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,” Harris told Vogue.
