Kamala Harris BIOGRAPHY

Last Updated : 09 Feb 2025

Kamala Harris, the current Vice President of the United States, stands as a formidable candidate in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Her candidacy is historic for multiple reasons: she is the first female vice president, the highest-ranking woman in U.S. history, and the first African American a...nd Asian American to hold the office. Now, Harris’s aspirations aim higher as she seeks to become the first female President of the United States. Born on October 20, 1964, in Oakland, California, to immigrant parents, Kamala Harris’s background is reflective of the diverse fabric of American society. Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was a cancer researcher from India, and her father, Donald Harris, is an economist from Jamaica. Raised with an awareness of both her African American and South Asian heritage, Harris's identity has been central to her political rise, as she embodies the multiculturalism that defines much of modern America. Harris attended Howard University, a historically Black university, before earning a law degree from the University of California, Hastings College of Law. Her legal career began in the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, where she worked on child abuse and domestic violence cases. In 2003, she was elected District Attorney of San Francisco, marking her first major entry into the public political domain. Harris’s career is marked by a series of groundbreaking achievements. In 2010, she was elected Attorney General of California, becoming the first woman and the first African American to hold the position. Her tenure was characterized by a tough-on-crime stance, but she also focused on progressive reforms such as fighting for marriage equality, combatting human trafficking, and initiating programs to reduce recidivism. Her national profile rose when she was elected as the U.S. Senator from California in 2016. As a senator, she made a name for herself with her sharp questioning during hearings, particularly her interrogation of Brett Kavanaugh during his Supreme Court confirmation process and her focus on civil rights issues. She was a strong advocate for healthcare reform, environmental protection, and racial justice. Harris initially ran for the presidency in 2020, but her campaign faltered, and she dropped out before the primaries. However, her political influence continued to grow, and in August 2020, then-presidential candidate Joe Biden selected her as his running mate. The Biden-Harris ticket won the 2020 election, and Harris was sworn in as Vice President on January 20, 2021. As Vice President, Harris took on several key responsibilities, including leading the administration’s efforts on immigration reform, voting rights, and tackling the root causes of migration in Central America. However, her vice presidency has not been without challenges. Critics have pointed to her lower public profile compared to Biden, as well as struggles in managing her portfolio effectively. Nevertheless, her influence within the Democratic Party remains significant. Harris’s 2024 presidential bid represents a crucial moment for both her career and the Democratic Party. With President Biden opting not to seek re-election, Harris is positioned as the likely Democratic nominee, symbolizing continuity of the Biden administration’s policies while also offering a progressive vision for the future. Her campaign is expected to focus on expanding healthcare access, addressing climate change, and advancing social justice causes. As a candidate, Harris brings a unique combination of experience, diversity, and resilience. Her success will depend on her ability to galvanize a broad coalition of voters, just as she did alongside Biden in 2020. Should she win, Kamala Harris would break another glass ceiling, cementing her place in history as the first female President of the United States.
