Just months ago, Kamala Harris was on the sidelines. Now, as the Democratic candidate for the 2024 U.S. presidential election, she has captured the spotlight on both the national and global stages.
Harris, with her multifaceted background, is already making history as the first Black and South Asian American woman to run for U.S. president from a major political party.
