We present to your attention an article about Kamala Harris, the main contender from the US Democratic Party.
Bild reports this.
Although Kamala Harris grew up in a wealthy family, she had to ride a separate bus to a “white” school as a child. In one of her interviews, she told how she and her younger sister Maya were not allowed to play by local children because of their skin color.
Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was a geneticist from India who dedicated her life to fighting breast cancer. Sadly, she died of cancer in 2009 at the age of 70. Kamala’s father is Donald Harris, an economist and professor.
After earning her law degree, Harris quickly rose through the ranks and became California’s attorney general in 2011, becoming the first African-American and South Asian woman to hold the position. In 2017, she also became the second black woman elected to the U.S. Senate.
In 2013, Kamala Harris married attorney Douglas Emhoff. Her husband is Jewish and has two adult children from a previous marriage. The couple has no children together.
Harris lives in the official Washington residence known as the “Little White House,” which has been used by all US vice presidents since 1977. Her home is actually quite spacious, with six bedrooms, a swimming pool, and a garden with a helipad.
Kamala Harris has been a vocal supporter of stricter gun laws, abortion rights, and aggressive climate action, and has consistently championed women’s rights throughout her career.
In 2022, Harris remembered her mother’s words: “Kamala, you can be the first to do many things.”
Now Kamala Harris has a chance to make history as the first female president of the United States.
Earlier, Cursor reported that Biden chose an “aggressive” tactic to support Harris in the presidential race.
