Trolling Donald Trump or a signal to the world? Why Kamala Harris's brown suit has become an object of discussion online and what does it have to do with Barack Obama
Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris caused a wave of discussion of her persona online. The reason was not the news that she was officially approved as a candidate for president in the upcoming elections, but the color of the politician's image at a speech during the National Convention of the Democratic Party on Monday, August 19.
She made a surprise appearance on stage in a two-piece suit from the brand Chloé, which was seen as a reference to the outfit of the 44th US President Barack Obama. ASB Zeitung has compiled the main theories explaining Kamala Harris' choice.
Trolling Donald Trump
In 2014, President Barack Obama appeared at a press conference about Iraq and Syria wearing a brown suit, for which he was mercilessly criticized by Republicans. According to many political analysts, the leader thus hinted at how "not serious" he took the topic.
In 2014, President Barack Obama spoke at a press conference wearing a light-colored suit.
10 years later, the Democratic nominee wore a similar outfit, as if teasing Republicans and Donald Trump for making her look like an "unserious" candidate for U.S. leader.
Kamala Harris wore a beige suit.
Historical Parallels
Another theory says that Kamala Harris purposely picked an outfit of a similar color to emphasize the historical significance of her candidacy and to draw a parallel with Barack Obama.
He was America's first dark-skinned president, and she could become the first dark-skinned U.S. president with more Asian and Jamaican ancestry.
