This essay spotlights some of the ways that the 2020 presidential campaign reified the sexism and racism baked into American politics. To demonstrate her suitability as Joe Biden’s running mate, vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris had to downplay her skill as a prosecutor with political intellect and present herself more as a doting and submissive partner picked out of a group of women vying for Biden’s attention. Such expressions of loyalty helped complete the rhetorical disciplining of Kamala Harris as a suitable vice-presidential pick
