US : Kamala Harris was born to a Jamaican father and an Indian mother who came to the United States to study.
She was the first person of South Asian descent to run for president in the United States, and she only had four months to get ready. She wanted to be the first woman to lead the country.
It’s safe to say that she’s going to fail.
After US president Joe Biden withdrew from the race for his second term, Kamala, a professor of economics at Stanford University, was chosen by the Democrats.
A choice not a very remarkable shock as worries in regards to Biden’s smartness and capacity stacked up after the US president floundered in a discussion against conservative official candidate and previous US president, Donald Trump.
Biden expressed his “full support and endorsement” for Kamala as the Democratic candidate to oppose Trump and said that selecting her as his vice president in 2020 was the “best decision” he had ever made.
It’s time for Democrats to band together and defeat Trump. Biden had stated, “Let’s do this.”
Who is Kamala? Kamala was born in Oakland, California, on October 20.

“We spoke once more at a subsequent meeting and the one that followed. The rest is history now. According to The New York Times, Shyamala stated.
After Gopalan filed for divorce in 1972 and settled in Oakland, California, Kamala was raised by her mother from the age of seven.
Kamala cited her mother, saying, “My mother would look at me and she would say, ‘Kamala, you may be the first to do many things, but make sure you are not the last.”
Her parents were active participants in the civil rights movement and had extensive academic experience.
