The California Senator and her running mate, now President-Elect Joe Biden, clenched over 270 electoral college votes to defeat President Donald Trump and win the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday night, Harris delivered an inspiring speech outside the Chase Center in Wilmington, Delaware. Walking out on stage to the song &#8220;Work That&#8221; by Mary J. Blige, Harris looked like she meant business wearing a crisp, white suit from Wes Gordan for Carolina Herrera&#8217;s Resort 2021 collection, teamed with a matching silk pussy-bow blouse.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignfull-width size-full wp-image-5479\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/11\/GettyImages-1229519565.jpg\" alt=\"Kamala Harris\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-gz_credit=\"ROBERTO SCHMIDT\/AFP via Getty Images\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignfull-width size-full wp-image-5480\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/11\/Carolina-Herrera.jpg\" alt=\"Carolina Herrera\" width=\"998\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"product-style\">Tapered Double-Faced Stretch-Wool Blazer, Carolina Herrera $2,290 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.modaoperandi.com\/women\/p\/carolina-herrera\/tapered-double-faced-stretch-wool-blazer\/456870\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>SHOP NOW<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"product-style\">Double-Faced Stretch-Wool Straight-Leg Trousers, Carolina Herrera $990 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.modaoperandi.com\/women\/p\/carolina-herrera\/double-faced-stretch-wool-straight-leg-trousers\/456871\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>SHOP NOW<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The white color choice was likely a nod to the suffragettes whose movement led to the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which granted women the right to vote.

Hillary Clinton wore white when she accepted the nomination for president at the 2016 Democratic National Convention in honor of the women&#8217;s suffrage movement. Geraldine Ferraro also wore white when she accepted the nomination to become the first female candidate for vice president for a major American political party at the 1984 Democratic convention. And just this past February, female Democrats in Congress made a point of wearing white to mark the 100th anniversary of the women\u2019s vote during Trump&#8217;s State of the Union address.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignfull-width size-full wp-image-5481\"
