'Kicking the felon out of the race': Dems are obsessed with Kamala Harris' sneakers
Democratic Party voters have a message for the nation about Vice President Kamala Harris: I'm with her sneakers.

"So this is the 'wear your pearls and Chuck Taylors to the polls' year?" asked Tracy O'Connell Novick.
Stanford University professor Dr. Cesar Padilla has noted that there is a powerful underlying political message in Harris' choice of sneaker.
"Kamala Harris’s shoes - Chuck Taylor’s/Tims are worn in working class (Black/Latinx) neighborhoods," Padilla wrote in 2020. "Kids wearing Vans/Jordan’s/Tims should imagine walking into the White House as Prez/VP."
