KAMALA HARRIS: FIRST WOMAN U.S. VICE PRESIDENT

When Joe Biden won the Presidency, his vice-presidential running mate Kamala Harris made history. By winning the 2020 election, she became both the first woman and the first person of color to be elected vice president of the United States. Before becoming vice president, Kamala Harris was a U.S. Senator from California. She’s the daughter of two immigrant academics, an Indian-American mother and a father from Jamaica. Harris was raised in Oakland and Berkeley, attended Howard University, and pursued a career in criminal justice as a prosecutor before entering politics. You can read more about her on WhiteHouse.gov.
