| Kamala Harris Height No Barrier for VP Nomination Kamala Harris has made history with her nomination for vice president of the United States. Despite all the attention on her background and policy positions, Harris’s physical stature has remained a surprisingly low-key element of the conversation. Although Harris stands at a considerably shorter height than the average U.S. senator, her height has been no barrier to success. As Kevin D. Williamson notes in an opinion piece for The Dispatch, "it isn’t about Kamala Harris." In his view, Harris’s impressive success is based on hard work and determination, rather than her height. Williamson argued that "Harris worked her way from a humble background to become California’s attorney general, a United States senator, and now a major-party nominee for vice president. She has accomplished these feats despite standing five foot two — about 9 inches shorter than the average U.S. senator." He further noted that many successful women are shorter than the national average, including Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton. Williamson argued that while Kamala Harris height may not be the best reflection of her accomplishments, her ability to ignore the prevailing bias against short candidates is "the most impressive thing about her." By her example, Harris has shown that a person’s physical stature is no barrier to success in politics. The nomination of Kamala Harris as vice president has added another milestone to the list of accomplishments that prove her height is no limit to the heights she can reach.
