Sen. Kamala Harris stopped by Penn Station to nosh on a breakfast sandwich after announcing that she was running for president in 2020.
The California Democrat posed with an egg and cheese sandwich and a bottle of water following an appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” where she announced her intention to throw her hat in the crowded ring of Democrats mounting campaigns.
The photo was posted on Twitter by Lily Adams, Harris’ communications director.
“I love my country. I love my country,” Harris said on ABC. “This is a moment in time that I feel a sense of responsibility to stand up and fight for the best of who we are.”
If her bid is successful, she would be the second African-American to become president and the first woman.
Harris, 54, joins a string of Democrats who have already announced, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro.
