The fashion magazine "Vogue" has chosen the Democratic US presidential candidate Kamala Harris for the cover of its latest issue. "Vice President Kamala Harris" is written on the cover as well as "The candidate for our times".

On the cover published on Friday, the 59-year-old can be seen sitting in an armchair in a dark brown suit with a matching silk shirt.

The photo of the slightly smiling Harris was taken by world-famous celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz. In the issue, "Vogue" editor-in-chief Anna Wintour clearly shows her support for the Democratic Party candidate, who is running against Republican Donald Trump in the election on November 5.

The long article about the presidential candidate contains a number of anecdotes about Harris, most of which are well-known, but otherwise no revelations of a private or political nature. This also applies, among other things, to her stance on the military escalation in the Middle East, on which Harris only comments in very general terms.

On the front page for the second time

Harris, the first politician with Indian-African-American roots to hold the office of US Vice President, was on the cover of Vogue once before when she took office in 2021. Back then, she showed herself in a rather casual pose wearing her favorite sneakers. Critics had accused the magazine of choosing a more serious photo out of respect for the office.

In her election campaign, Harris is enjoying support from the show and entertainment industry. She was recently a guest on a show hosted by star presenter Oprah Winfrey, where several Hollywood actresses expressed their support for the 59-year-old.
