As the 2024 election heats up, Vice President Kamala Harris faces an immense political and personal burden—one that political commentator Jonathan Last likens to Frodo Baggins’ journey to Mordor. Harris, who has long harbored presidential ambitions, now finds herself carrying the weight of democracy itself, with the stakes higher than ever.
In a candid interview with Howard Stern, Harris admitted the pressure is overwhelming. “I literally lose sleep over it,” she confessed, explaining how she goes to bed each night questioning if there was more she could have done. Unlike Barack Obama, who rose to cultural icon status, Harris’ path is fraught with challenges, making her role in this election a defining moment not only for her career but for the future of the nation.
