Kamala Harris

Kamala Harris is the vice-president to US President Joe Biden, who was elected to office in 2020. In 2024, Harris, who is of mixed black and Indian descent, became the nation’s first African-American woman – and first Asian-American at all – to be nominated to run for president by a major political party. She lost in her bid to a resurgent Donald Trump, representing the Republican Party. A Democrat, she had previously represented California in the US Senate from 2017 until 2021.
