Joint Center President Quoted in The Philadelphia Tribune on Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris

Joint Center President Dedrick Asante-Muhammad was quoted in The Philadelphia Tribune discussing America’s readiness to accept Vice President Kamala Harris as the 2024 Democratic Party’s presidential candidate.

From the article: “Dedrick Asante-Muhammad is president of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, the nation’s oldest and most prestigious Black think tank. He discussed that Harris’ experience gives her unique advantages to previous female candidates. ‘She won the majority of votes as vice president, which means there’s more space for a woman of color to be president … There’s nothing in the general public’s mind that’s more second to the president than being second to the president.”

He later added: “America is as ready as can be expected for something that’s never happened.”
