It was reported by the New York Times on Friday, Vice President Kamala Harris criticized intelligence reports for how they portrayed female leaders in other countries.

“Ms. Harris, the first woman to hold the office, commissioned a review that examined years of background reports from various intelligence agencies, looking for possible gender bias,” the authors wrote in the Times.

Harris’ attention to the intelligence reports stemmed from her being “struck by the way two foreign leaders were described.”

After officials reviewed the reports, they found “some questionable wording but no widespread pattern,” the Times reported, citing a senior intelligence official who requested anonymity to discuss the review.

Intelligence officials were urged to add “a new training class for analysts on how to assess and assess female foreign leaders,” the Times wrote.

More specifically, the Times reported that “the class now teaches intelligence analysts how to better assess the context in which women leaders operate and the possible impact of gender on their career paths, decision-making and policy choices, according to a US official.”

“The episode appeared to be a preview of Harris’ priorities. The vice president put issues of gender and race at the center of many of the policy discussions in her office, aides and former administration officials said,” the Times reported.

Harris reportedly came to the attention of Avril Haines, the first female director of national intelligence in the United States, when the Democratic presidential candidate shared her concerns about possible gender bias in intelligence reports.

Intelligence officials now regularly look for potential gender bias, a senior official told the Times. Additionally, intelligence officials shared with the Times that Harris wanted more intelligence reporting on how gender inequality in various nations weakens their national security.

“She paid particular attention to Africa, Southeast Asia and the Caribbean — regions that have been overlooked in mainstream foreign policy, one of them said,” intelligence officials told the Times.

The Harris campaign or Biden administration officials did not respond to a request for comment.

The information shared by intelligence officials was part of the Times’ report that Harris was silent on her policy brief as she “appeals to moderate voters and seeks to defy Donald J. Trump’s claims that she represents ‘the radical left.’

The Times further explained that Harris’ previous experience of combating gender bias in intelligence agencies promoted “equality” in the government’s response to coronavirus pandemicand other measures “aimed at systemic disparities” have not been offered on the campaign trail.

“While Harris’ allies describe this as a defining feature of her vice presidency — one that sets her apart from her predecessors, including Democrats — she is not running on this part of her record,” the Times reported.

“She rarely talks explicitly about how she would use government to address racism and sexism — and only sparingly mentions her own status as potentially the first woman, first Asian American and first black woman to hold the presidency.”

A former aide to the vice president told the Times that Harris “was always interested in sex.”

“We all knew it was really important to her, so we would proactively add it to her briefings. She didn’t have to ask for it,” said the aide, who requested anonymity.

While her record may suggest that Harris is focused on women and minorities, her aides claim the vice president is concerned about all “overlooked groups, including low-income people regardless of race or ethnicity.”

Many of Harris’ previous positions have been thrust into the spotlight since her rise to the top ticket after President Biden withdrew from the presidential election.

For example Harris supported taxpayer funded surgery for trans prisoners and illegal immigrants when they responded to a questionnaire conducted by the American Civil Liberties Union.
