Former Vice President Kamala Harris will receive the NAACP Chairman’s Award this Saturday.

This comes after Harris lost the presidential election, in which she garnered fewer votes in each state than former President Joe Biden. Harris outperformed Biden in only 58 counties and lost every swing state to President Donald Trump. She also lost the popular vote. The NAACP National Board of Directors Chairman Leon W. Russell stood by the decision to give her the award as she was the first black woman to be a presidential nominee.
