Erika Harold: les républicains sont-ils prêts pour une femme noire au Congrès?

Une femme noire, diplômée en droit de Harvard et ancienne miss America (2003), Erika Harold a tout pour attirer l'attention et élargir la base électorale des républicains. Pourtant ces derniers contribuent peu à la promotion de sa candidature, elle qui pourrait devenir la première femme noire de la Chambre des représentants au Congrès.

 "Harold doesn’t fit neatly into the taxonomy of today’s Republican factions: She is not a middle-of-the-road Republican. Nor is she a neocon, a Tea Partier or a strict libertarian cribbing Ayn Rand quotes. She calls herself a constitutional conservative. She is anti-abortion rights, pro-gun, believes that marriage is between a man and a woman. She does not support marijuana legalization. She wants to repeal Obamacare. She also is against the death penalty, because, she says, the sentences are too dependent on the varying quality of the accused’s attorneys."
