Multiple media outlets – including The 19th News, Politico, and Rolling Stone, among many others – analyze possible contributors to Harris’ departure from the presidential contest, including financial hurdles, electability doubts, being held to different standards than her opponents or predecessors due to race and gender, and struggles in self-definition and presentation. They also point to the lasting effects of her campaign in disrupting images of who and what is presidential, and to the prospects of her influence and future role in the presidential race. In The New York Times, Lisa Lerer and Jennifer Medina ask, “What Does This Country Demand of Black Women in Politics?,” citing the particularly gendered, racialized, and intersectional hurdles that Harris faced as a presidential contender.
