When Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s fictional Veep, Selina Meyer, ran for the U.S. presidency, the TV comedy’s writers settled on the most meaningless election slogan they could think of: <a data-evt-val="{&quot;control_fields&quot;: {&quot;mparticle&quot;: {&quot;keys&quot;: {&quot;click_source_type&quot;: &quot;click_source_type&quot;, &quot;anchor_text&quot;: &quot;anchor_text&quot;, &quot;target_url&quot;: &quot;target_url&quot;, &quot;layout_section&quot;: &quot;layout_section&quot;}, &quot;mp_event_type&quot;: &quot;Navigation&quot;, &quot;extra_keys&quot;: [&quot;click_vertical_position_percentage&quot;, &quot;click_vertical_position_pixels&quot;]}}, &quot;click_source_type&quot;: &quot;in-page link&quot;, &quot;anchor_text&quot;: &quot;\u201cContinuity with Change.\u201d&quot;, &quot;target_url&quot;: &quot;https://www.vox.com/2016/3/24/11298724/veep-turnbull-australia-slogan-change-continuity&quot;, &quot;layout_section&quot;: &quot;in-page-link&quot;}" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-evt="click" data-evt-typ="click" href="https://www.vox.com/2016/3/24/11298724/veep-turnbull-australia-slogan-change-continuity" target="_blank">“Continuity with Change.”</a>

Harris’s challenge is to prove she deserved her position as the highest-ranking female elected official in U.S. history.{ai:summary}<p>Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s Selina Meyer had a slogan that nailed the absurdity of politics: “Continuity with Change.” Now, Kamala Harris is weaving the same thread in her own presidential run, making sense of a world where reality flirts with absurdity. </p><p>#politics</p>
