Kamala Harris is best known as a politician and former prosecutor who has served as the junior U.S. Senator of California since 2017. She is part of the Democratic party and was announced as Joe Biden’s Vice President pick for the 2020 presidential election on Aug. 11, 2020. The pick helps her to make history as the first Black and South Asian person to be chosen as the running mate of a major party’s presidential candidate.
She continues her political journey as the Democratic candidate in the 2024 election, running alongside her vice-presidential pick, Tim Walz, after President Biden withdrew from the race and endorsed her. They are facing off against former President Donald Trump and his running mate, J.D. Vance, representing the Republican Party.
Kamala is originally from Oakland, California, and graduated from Howard University and the University of California, Hastings College of Law. She started her career in the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office and eventually moved over to the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office and later the City Attorney of San Francisco’s Office.
