Kamala Devi Harris (/ˈkɑːmələ/ KAH-mə-lə;[2][3] born October 20, 1964) is an American politician who is the vice president-elect of the United States and the junior United States senator from California. Prior to her election to the Senate, she served as the attorney general of California.

A member of the Democratic Party, she will become vice president on January 20, 2021, alongside President-elect Joe Biden, having defeated the incumbent president Donald Trump and vice president Mike Pence in the 2020 election. She will be the United States' first female vice president, the highest-ranking female elected official in U.S. history, and the first African American and first Asian American vice president.[4][5]

Born in Oakland, California, Harris graduated from Howard University and the University of California, Hastings College of the Law. She began her career in the Alameda County District Attorney's Office, before being recruited to the San Francisco District Attorney's Office and later the City Attorney of San Francisco's office. In 2003, she was elected district attorney of San Francisco. She was elected Attorney General of California in 2010 and re-elected in 2014. Harris has served as the junior United States senator from California since 2017. Harris defeated Loretta Sanchez in the 2016 Senate election to become the second African American woman and the first South Asian American to serve in the United States Senate.[6][7] As a senator, she has advocated healthcare reform, federal de-scheduling of cannabis, a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, the DREAM Act, a ban on assault weapons, and progressive tax reform. She gained a national profile for her pointed questioning of Trump administration officials during Senate hearings, including Trump's second Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, who was accused of sexual assault.[8]

Harris sought the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, but dropped out of the race prior to the primaries.[9] Former vice president Joe Biden selected Harris as his running mate in August 2020, and the Biden–Harris ticket won the November 2020 election.

Harris was born in Oakland, California,[10] on October 20, 1964.[11] Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, a biologist whose work on the progesterone receptor gene stimulated advances in breast cancer research,[12] had arrived in the U.S. from Tamil Nadu in India in 1958 as a 19-year-old graduate student in nutrition and endocrinology at the University of California, Berkeley;[13][14] Gopalan received her PhD in 1964.[15] Her father, Donald J. Harris, is a Stanford University professor emeritus of economics, who arrived in the U.S. from British Jamaica in 1961 for graduate study at UC Berkeley, receiving a PhD in economics in 1966.[16][17] Along with her younger sister, Maya, Harris lived in Berkeley, California,[18][19] briefly on Milvia Street in central Berkeley, then a duplex on Bancroft Way in West Berkeley, an area often called "the flatlands"[20] with a significant black population.[21]

Harris's childhood home on Bancroft Way in Berkeley

When Harris began kindergarten, she was bused as part of Berkeley's comprehensive desegregation program to Thousand Oaks Elementary School, a public school in a more prosperous neighborhood in northern Berkeley[20] which previously had been 95 percent white, and after the desegregation plan went into effect became 40 percent Black.[21] A neighbor regularly took the Harris girls to an African American church in Oakland where they sang in the children's choir,[22][23] and the girls and their mother also frequently visited a nearby African American cultural center.[24] Their mother introduced them to Hinduism and took them to a nearby Hindu temple, where she occasionally sang.[25] As children, she and her sister visited their mother's family in Madras (now Chennai) several times.[26] She says she has been strongly influenced by her maternal grandfather P. V. Gopalan, a retired Indian civil servant whose progressive views on democracy and women's rights impressed her. Harris has remained in touch with her Indian aunts and uncles throughout her adult life.[27] Harris has also visited her father's family in Jamaica.[28]

Her parents divorced when she was seven. Harris has said that when she and her sister visited their father in Palo Alto on weekends, other children in the neighborhood were not allowed to play with them because they were black.[26] When she was twelve, Harris and her sister moved with their mother to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where Shyamala had accepted a research and teaching position at the McGill University-affiliated Jewish General Hospital.[29] She attended a French-speaking primary school, Notre-Dame-des-Neiges,[30] then F.A.C.E. School,[31] and then Westmount High School[b] in Westmount, Quebec, graduating in 1981.[33] Wanda Kagan, a high school friend of Harris, later told CBC News in 2020 that Harris was her best friend and described how she confided in Harris that she had been molested by her stepfather.[34] She said that Harris told her mother, who then insisted Kagan come to live with them for the remainder of her final year of high school. Kagan said Harris had recently told her that their friendship, and playing a role in countering Kagan's exploitation, helped form the commitment Harris felt in protecting women and children as a prosecutor. After high school, in 1982, Harris attended Howard University, a historically black university in Washington, D.C. While at Howard, she interned as a mailroom clerk for California senator Alan Cranston, chaired the economics society, led the debate team, and joined Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority.[35][36] Harris graduated from Howard in 1986 with a degree in political science and economics.[37]

Harris then returned to California to attend law school at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law through its Legal Education Opportunity Program (LEOP).[38] While at UC Hastings, she served as president of its chapter of the Black Law Students Association.[39] She graduated with a Juris Doctor in 1989[40] and was admitted to the California Bar in June 1990.[41]

In 1990, Harris was recruited as an appointee lead prosecutor in Alameda County, California, where she was portrayed as "a capable investigator in transit up".[42] In 1994, Speaker of the California Assembly Willie Brown, who was then dating Harris, selected her to the state Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and later to the California Medical Assistance Commission.[42] Harris required a six-month time away in 1994 from her obligations as examiner, at that point subsequently continued as investigator during the years she sat on the loads up. Harris' association with Brown was noted in media reportage as a feature of an example of Californian political pioneers selecting "companions and faithful political troopers" to worthwhile situations on the commissions. Harris has protected her work.[42][43][44]

In February 1998, San Francisco head prosecutor Terence Hallinan enrolled Harris as an associate locale attorney.[45] There, she turned into the head of the Career Criminal Division, directing five different lawyers, where she indicted murder, thievery, theft, and rape cases – especially three-strikes cases. In 2000, Harris allegedly conflicted with Hallinan's associate, Darrell Salomon,[46] over Proposition 21, which allowed investigators the choice of attempting adolescent respondents in Superior Court as opposed to adolescent courts.[47] Harris battled against the measure, which passed. Salomon restricted guiding media requests about Prop 21 to Harris and reassigned her, a true downgrade. Harris documented a grumbling against Salomon and quit.[48]

In August 2000, Harris accepted another position at San Francisco City Hall, working for city lawyer Louise Renne.[49] Harris ran the Family and Children's Services Division speaking to kid misuse and disregard cases. Renne supported Harris during her D.A. campaign.[50]

In 2002, Harris arranged to run for District Attorney of San Francisco against Hallinan (the occupant) and Bill Fazio.[51] Harris was the most un-known about the three candidates[52] however convinced the Central Committee to retain its underwriting from Hallinan.[50] Harris and Hallinan progressed to the overall political race spillover with 33 and 37 percent of the vote, respectively.[53]

In the overflow, Harris swore never to look for capital punishment and to indict three-strike guilty parties just in instances of vicious felonies.[54] Harris ran a "strong" crusade, helped by previous chairman Willie Brown, Senator Dianne Feinstein, author and illustrator Aaron McGruder, and joke artists Eddie Griffin and Chris Rock.[55][56] Harris separated herself from Hallinan by assaulting his performance.[57] She contended that she left his office since it was innovatively bumbling, accentuating his 52 percent conviction rate for genuine wrongdoings in spite of a 83 percent normal conviction rate statewide.[58] Harris charged that his office was not doing what's necessary to stem the city's weapon viciousness, especially in helpless areas like Bayview and the Tenderloin, and assaulted his eagerness to acknowledge supplication deals in instances of homegrown violence.[59][60] Harris won with 56 percent of the vote, turning into the main ethnic minority chose as head prosecutor of San Francisco.[61]
