The 49th Vice President of the United States and the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, Kamala Harris made history as the first woman, first Black American, and first South Asian American to hold the vice presidency. A former California Attorney General and U.S. Senator, she entered the 2024 race in July after President Biden withdrew, running on a platform of reproductive rights, middle-class tax cuts, and small-business support. She narrowly lost to Donald Trump in November and has signaled she'll weigh a 2028 bid.
