Purdue University Fort Wayne student Brooklyn Prosser kept her emotions at bay Wednesday as she and a few classmates quietly watched Kamala Harris become the country s vice president.
“I almost started sobbing,” Prosser said. “We made it. We made it through four years.”
Attending the inauguration watch party was natural for Prosser, a senior studying psychology who made a point since freshman year to participate in similar events for other political moments, such as the State of the Union address.
