Her precise words on the matter read as follows:
“I have also started to perhaps be more candid talking about what I described and what I believe to be the elephant in the room about my campaign. Electability. Is America ready for a woman and a woman of color to be president of the United States?”
Kamala Harris, who has admitted that she is not ideological, says all she has to offer is her gender and race and people shy away from that because she is black and a woman. Discourse! pic.twitter.com/CICCvnbK7V

More Information on Kamala Harris’ Presidential Campaign
At this time, there is no concrete evidence to affirm that Harris’ race or gender is working against her in the 2020 presidential election.
However, she has come under fire for her support of ending private healthcare; ironically, Harris also took heat for failing to clearly articulate where she stands on other issues. Critics of the 2020 Democrat maintain that Harris has flip-flopped on her stance regarding Medicare-for-All.
During the first primary debate, Harris gained significant momentum after censuring in-party rival Joe Biden. However, this momentum reached an end once Harris found herself on the receiving end of criticism from fellow 2020 Democrat Tulsi Gabbard.
