As Vice President Kamala Harris embarks on her fall campaign for the White House, she faces historical challenges that have stymied many before her. Since 1836, only George H.W. Bush, in 1988, has successfully transitioned from the vice presidency to the presidency. Notable figures like Richard Nixon, Hubert Humphrey, and Al Gore all narrowly lost their bids for the Oval Office. Shinica Thomas of the Wake County Commission joined Jeff Hamlin on the WPTF Afternoon News to discuss Harris's prospects for breaking the trend, analyzing the unique challenges she faces and the strategies that could help her succeed.
