Kamala Harris

And so in those 107 days, I was fully aware of

of not only the importance of the job, but fully aware that I had the experience and knowledge to be able to do it effectively.

Yes, I have.

But I've also had the imposter syndrome experience, and that was when I was first elected DA.

And I challenged then the incumbent.

I started out at six points in the polls, which is six out of 100.

People recently ask me, oh, about polls, polls.

Well, if I listened to polls, I would have never run for my first office, and therefore we wouldn't be having this interview probably.

And I won, and it was not expected that I would, at least when I jumped in the race.

And there I was sitting in the office, and I thought, oh, my God, I'm now the elected DA of a major city in the United States.

In hindsight, maybe we call it imposter syndrome.

To your point, maybe it is a very loaded term because I think there is nothing wrong with having, and I think there's a lot that is good with having a certain level of humility.

and in particular when the people have vested you with great power, right?

To understand it's not about you, right?

I think that that is part and parcel of what we call imposter syndrome or who has it.

I think often it is because they understand how serious the job is on behalf of others.

And I applaud a bit of humility, honest humility, not feigned humility.

Right?

Because there are plenty of people that are self-deprecating for the sake of the shtick of it all.

Yeah.
