Who Is Kamala Harris?

On August 11, 2020, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden ushered in political history when he announced that now-Vice President Kamala Harris would be his running mate for the 2020 election. And on November 7, when Biden's official victory was called, Harris became the first Black and South-Asian American woman in that role. Though Harris, 56, a lawyer and former attorney general of California, has been in politics for over a decade, she's become even more of a household name this year.
