This 47 seconds may have saved Kamala Harris's political career

This could well be the most interesting Presidential polls in history of the United States, while the entire world looks on. Kamala Harris currently has a good chance of winning the polls, if the surveys are to be believed but, during the first instances of joining the election ticket, things were not looking so bright. Slowly and steadily, she got to garnering the support of the American voters, and now she has a solid fighting chances, even when the odds were initially stacked against her.

Kamala Harris' current fight reminds us of her 2010 campaign

For those who do not know, Kamala Harris ran for the 2010 California attorney general and that particular journey is one Harris fans hold very close to their hearts. Harris was poised to lose in the elections and that too, quite heavily. Her adversary Steve Cooley, the popular and moderate district attorney from LA County, had even declared himself victorious even before the final declaration of the results.


When the results came in, Harris had won through sheer nerve, with a margin less than one percent, demonstrating just how badly Harris can beat the odds, when she focuses on something completely.

How did Harris win that 2010 election?

Well, all odds seemed to be against her but she made good use of a loophole in a debate with her adversary, where Cooley threw an answer that was too frank and foolish for a district attorney. Harris jumped onto that point and handled the ship so skillfully in those 47 seconds, that it may have paid off when the election results were declared.
