American moms feel like Kamala Harris “gets” them

When Judy Schramm, a mother of five who lives in Fairfax, Virginia, heard Vice President Kamala Harris was running for president, she felt “so excited.”

“I wasn’t expecting to be,” Schramm said. “I have been feeling so down over the past few years seeing the country sliding backward and watching women lose one right after another.” 

But Harris’s bid for president has given Schramm “faith” in American politics again. “I didn’t realize how down I had been until I felt hope again,” Schramm said, adding that the talk of Harris not being a “real mom” is “nonsense.”
