And on a much lighter note? She's ALSO the first VP candidate to wear sneakers for a good portion of her campaign.
And yes, I know. Is this urgent news? Nope. But is this a quick, low-key distraction we can have in the year 2020??
INDEED IT IS.
People on Twitter were into it.
And honestly, can you blame them?
Back on the trail, Kamala's worn them during speeches:
On marches:
Last week, she wore them to de-plane before an event — and within a few hours, "Chuck Taylors" was trending on Twitter.
Her Chucks habit goes back at least a few years. She told The Cut back in 2018: "I run through airports in my Converse sneakers. I have a whole collection of Chuck Taylors."
Now, it's not *all* sneakers on the trail. She'll sometimes ditch them for, say, a ~sensible wedge~.
Or heels for TV:
But a lot of times, it's Chucks.
And TBH, if we had to permanently retire heels in 2020? I wouldn't be mad.
