Kamala Harris' race was extraordinary.

From one almost Standing start She was nominated for the nomination following Joe Biden's dramatic exit.

Your election campaign took time just over 100 daysa relative blip in the American election cycle.

She had to gather support to fend off talk of an open party conference, find a running mate, decide on policy positions and take part in the election campaigns.

Her rise to the top of the ticket list reignited the race.

Social media is lighting up, with a lot of help from Pop star Charli XCX's three-word post.

Coconut memes and lime green flooded feeds raising hopes Generation Z voters loved her campaign.

Your opponent Donald Trump appeared sullen and unhinged and frequently referred to Biden as if the 2020 rematch was still underway.

Then the vice president lost a little of his luster.

She had a great debate against Trump, but in sit-down interviews, when she finally agreed with them, she seemed overly scripted and lacking in agility.

Now polls in the final days of the race has given the Harris campaign hope that things are moving in the right direction.

“Momentum is on our side,” she told the crowd at her election rally the night before in Philadelphia.

She also told them that there is still a lot of work to be done.

If the polls are correct, every single vote could actually count.

Harris has shied away from making her gender or racial identity an issue in her campaign.

Its followers are well aware of the historic nature of its run.

But Democrats have been disappointed in this regard before, in another election eight years ago, when a woman was elected Hillary Clintoncompeted against the same opponent that Kamala Harris faces.

Today they dare to dream a little, but also prepare for disappointment.
