A
Harris exit points to hurdles facing minority candidates

By ERRIN HAINES

Kamala Harris cloaked her
presidential campaign in
the promise of becom-
ing the first black woman
in the White House. That
wasn't enough for donors
and supporters, including
black voters.The California
senator abruptly withdrew
from the race on Tuesday
after her once-promising
campaign failed to coa-
lesce around a message
that would resonate with
voters. And without clear
support from voters, Harris

needed to keep going.

lapse of a presidential
campaign almost always
rests with the candidate.

onstrates the unique chal-
lenges facing candidates

presidential primary debate in Atlanta.
