Kamala Harris has once again come face to face with the fact that she didn't actually win the Democrat nomination as former President Barack Obama reminded voters of how the party works.
While the Harris campaign has continually asserted that the candidate chosen by the DNC, not the voters, is qualified for the job, she still sits in the shadow of the more recent candidates.
This was demonstrated when the poster design by Shepard Fairey's Hope became synonymous with Barrack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, as Creative Blog reported.
The poster played a significant role in the Democrat candidate's victory over John McCain by delivering a critical one-word message.
The poster design was included in the National Portrait Gallery's collection, and now Fairey has revived the design in an attempt to use the design again for Kamala Harris.
According to the designer, her work is looking to support the effort of Harris to prevent a "convicted felon" from winning the White House once again.
In blue and teal, Fairey's poster of Kamala Harris features the current vice president gazing upward while wearing a circular red KH badge.

The term "HOPE" is substituted with "FORWARD," which is consistent with Harris's declaration that "We're not going back."
On his Instagram page, Fairey wrote: "In order not to go back, we must go FORWARD!... While we have not achieved all the goals we might be seeking, we are making progress - all in the face of expanding threats and regressive political adversaries.”
He added: “If we act we can move forward our desire for a healthy planet, for corporate accountability, toward equality and away from racism, sexism, xenophobia, and homophobia, for equitable access to opportunity, for full access to the medical care we want or need, for fair and just immigration policies."
According to Fairey, the Harris FORWARD poster is free and open to non-commercial use, and its purpose is to serve as a tool for grassroots movement.
He claims he will not have any financial gain because he was not compensated for his labor.
However, that poster isn't the only one making its way onto the nominated candidate's trail of campaign paraphernalia.
Other artists, including a street artist and illustrator from New York City, have created art in support of the candidate whose primary claim to fame is that she's NOT former President Donald Trump.
