Kamala Harris tells business leaders: Success shouldn’t be vilified

Published February 19, 2019 4:10pm ET



Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., on Tuesday told a business-orientated crowd at a breakfast in New Hampshire that success should be celebrated rather than scorned.

“So this discussion from my perspective is not about saying, you know, people who have worked hard and gained success should be vilified. I don’t believe that, I applaud that, that’s pursuit of the American Dream,” Harris said in New Hampshire. “But I also recognize, and if we’re having an honest conversation we must all recognize, that the rules aren’t applying equally to all people in our country, that not all people in our country have equal access to a path toward success.”
