Vice President, Mother, and Woman of Color

The Chronicle features another puff-piece on the Vice President:

Kamala Harris is the highest-ranking mom ever in U.S. politics. Here's why that matters

Harris is also a mother, affectionately known as “Momala,” to two now-adult stepchildren with husband Douglas Emhoff, whom she married in 2014 when she was California attorney general.

That has meant her own juggling of career and family, including a high-profile Senate hearing that conflicted with her stepdaughter’s high school graduation.

Experts say this is one of the subtle but powerful ways that Harris is changing politics by virtue of being the first person like her in her position — including the first mother elected on a presidential ticket, as well as the first woman and woman of color. And, they say, it couldn’t be more timely.

The article goes on with nary a discouraging word. I was surprised, however, about all the references to motherhood given the Biden Administration's renaming "mothers" as birthing persons.

The Chronicle has to update its style book. Even the woke can't keep up with the woke.
