JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Vice President-elect Kamala Harris is not only the first woman to win the office, but he’s also the first woman of color on a winning presidential ticket. “While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last," Harris said while appearing with President-elect Joe Biden on Saturday evening. “This election and this victory is more of an equalizer, an equalizer to people who may be hurting," Phelps said. “It’s like, you see a house and you say, ‘That’s my house.’ You see a car and you claim that. And you see a vice president and you see a president and you see yourself as being able to wish and to work towards fulfilling your dreams, and this is a dream.
