Harris/Harass
Ed Iffland
With remarkable economy, Ed Iffland draws attention to two of the main narratives surrounding the presidential candidates. If elected, Kamala Harris would have become the second person with African-American heritage to be elected president of the United States. On the other hand, Iffland also notes that her opponent, Donald Trump, faces accusations of misconduct from many women, dating back to the 1970s. In November Trump won the presidency for a second time.
