Even though she had her own presidential run and has a lengthy résumé in public service, Senator Kamala Harris is now garnering the most attention she's ever had in her career. Yes, that
While on the campaign trail yesterday, Harris sent a clear message with her laidback outfit: She's staying true to herself despite the increased scrutiny. She flew to Milwaukee to meet with electrical workers, Black business owners, and supporters wearing her ultimate go-to wardrobe staple: Converse Chuck Taylor Sneakers ($50). She frequently wore them during her own presidential run, and now she's remaining loyal to them under a newly bright spotlight.
Harris's choice of Converse sneakers sent Twitter into an excited frenzy yesterday, causing #ChuckTaylors to start trending. Just one tweet from her husband, Doug Emhoff, racked up over 72,000 likes alone: "The @Kamala Harris I know wears Chucks and jeans...and now you all know too!" Meanwhile, her sister Maya Harris tweeted: "Chuck Taylors trending lol. (Yes, they are in fact her go-to.)"
