Kamala Harris has emerged. And, according to British pop sensation Charli XCX (whose real name is Charlotte Aitchison), Kamala is “brat”.

Note: “brat” NOT “a brat”. There’s a big difference between these 2 expressions.

What does it mean to be brat?

Brat is an attitude more than an aesthetic, described as unexpected, bold and fun, a relief from everything stodgy.  

Brat green has become a symbol of a vibe that is bold, fresh and rebellious.

Brat green, the color featured on the cover of British pop star Charli XCX's album “Brat”, is between 360 and 375 on the Pantone color chart. This shade of green is a vivid, neon-imbued chartreuse that's similar to lime green and slime green (Photo illustration: Maura Losch/Axios)

Now the big question is: who will be her running mate? Kamala Harris did not just fall out of a coconut tree. It will be interesting to see who she pairs up with. One thing is 100% for sure, this ticket will not be comprised of 2 white men.
