"Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to be the Democratic presidential
nominee now that President Joe Biden has exited the race and has endorsed her.
She brings a long and strong record of support for LGBTQ+ equality,
reproductive freedom, and other progressive causes.
If she wins in November, Harris will make history as both the first woman to be
president and first woman of color in the nation’s highest office — the first
Black woman and the first one of South Asian heritage. She'd also most likely
be the most pro-LGBTQ+ president.
Harris was born October 20, 1964, in Oakland, Calif., and grew up in Berkeley
and the surrounding East San Francisco Bay Area, along with spending a few
years in Montreal. She is the daughter of two immigrants — her mother, Shyamala
Gopalan, was born in India, and her father, Donald Harris, in Jamaica. Gopalan
was a research scientist and Harris an economist. Her parents were active in
the civil rights movement and took young Kamala to marches in a stroller. She
is a graduate of Howard University, one of the nation’s preeminent historically
Black universities, and earned a law degree from the University of Hastings
College of Law. In 2014, she married Douglas Emhoff, a lawyer. They have two
children, Ella and Cole."
