This\u2064 follows President Joe Biden&#8217;s announcement that he would not be\u2063 running\u2063 in the 2024 presidential election. The *Time* cover depicts a striking black-and-white drawing \u200dof Harris with the title &#8220;Her Moment,&#8221; and highlights her \u2063recent resurgence in \u2063the political arena, especially at a vibrant campaign rally that \u200cdrew over 14,000 attendees. The \u200carticle describes the \u2063transformation of Harris\u2064 from being seen as a secondary figure to now standing out as the\u2063 leading\u200d Democratic candidate for 2024, amidst a significant shift in the party&#8217;s dynamics. Some observers have critiqued the *Time* article\u2064 as unoriginal and \u200doverly flattering, pointing \u200dout that it resembles a previous *New York Times* piece on Harris. Additionally, *Essence* magazine&#8217;s upcoming issue will feature a profile of\u2064 Harris, \u2063including an\u200c interview conducted during the Essence Fest, prior to the recent changes \u200cin \u2064the presidential race.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Cover girl: Kamala Harris makes cover of Essence and Time magazines<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1729124\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris<\/a> has scored two prominent magazine covers, <em>Essence<\/em> and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/time-magazine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Time\">Time<\/a><\/em>, only weeks after President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Time\">Joe Biden<\/a> dropped out of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"2024 presidential election\">2024 presidential election<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Time<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-issue-of-time-magazine-does-not-feature-iconic-trump-fist-pump-photo-on-cover\/\" title=\"New issue of Time magazine does not feature iconic Trump fist-pump photo on cover\">magazine&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s cover shows a black-and-white drawing of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/carson-points-out-that-every-democratic-plan-has-backfired-in-trumps-favor-as-seen-in-the-bible-2\/\" title=\"Carson points out that every Democratic plan has backfired in Trump&#039;s favor, as seen in the Bible\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: &#039;Pipeline&#039; to Obama Admin Seen as &#039;Currency&#039;\">vice president<\/a>&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s head surrounded by blue signs.
