Abstract
Vice President Kamala Harris made history in 2020 by becoming the first woman, and first Black and Asian descent to earn this coveted role for any party (Clark & Adams, 2021). During her 2020 campaign, VP Harris showed how significant identity is to her autonomy as a first-generation American who openly supports historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), as a Howard University alumna and sorority member under the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) (Zeleny et al., 2020). Thus, Harris' identity and storyline became a personified view of inclusivity, further emphasizing her culturally and historically significant election. As the 2024 U.S. presidential election approaches, it is unclear who the country's future national leaders will be. With the expansion of digital media and multiculturalism, it is momentous to explore the framing of women of color in politics through the lens of news platforms traditionally owned by dominant entities, compared to news platforms created by marginalized groups.
