    About our Kamala Harris news

    Latest news on Kamala Harris, tracking her role as Vice President, historic 2024 campaign as first female Democratic nominee, and defeat by Donald Trump in presidential election.

    Kamala Harris, who has served as the 49th Vice President of the United States since 2021, made history as the first woman, first African American, and first Asian American to hold that office. Following Joe Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race in July, Harris became the Democratic Party's nominee, making her the second woman to win a major party's presidential nomination.

    Harris's presidential campaign focused on protecting abortion rights, addressing immigration through border security and root causes, and promoting what analysts called a "populist" economic agenda. She participated in a widely watched debate with Donald Trump in September 2024, which polls indicated she won decisively. However, she ultimately lost to Trump in the November general election, with Trump securing the Electoral College victory needed to become president-elect.

    As Vice President, Harris has played crucial roles in the Biden administration, casting a record-breaking 32 tie-breaking votes in the evenly divided Senate and leading diplomatic missions abroad. She has worked to address migration's root causes through the Root Causes Strategy and partnerships with Central American nations. Harris briefly served as acting president in November 2021 when Biden underwent a medical procedure, becoming the first woman to hold presidential powers.

    Before her vice presidency, Harris served as a U.S. Senator from California (2017-2021) and as California's Attorney General (2011-2017). Born in Oakland to immigrant parents from India and Jamaica, she graduated from Howard University and the University of California, Hastings College of Law before beginning her career as a prosecutor. Her groundbreaking career has consistently broken barriers for women and people of colour in American politics.

    Our NewsNow feed delivers comprehensive coverage of Harris's historic vice presidency, campaign milestones, and transition as she prepares to return to private life following her election defeat. Stay informed about her final months in office, legacy as vice president, and continuing influence on American politics through our regularly updated coverage from reliable sources.
