Vice President Kamala Harris has her roots in India. Her mother was Indian and her father is Jamaican; both immigrated to the United States.

She was born in Oakland, California, and attended a historically black university, Howard University, in Washington. 

In the presidential polls, Harris has rallied on several issues. She has expressed support for women's abortion rights, promised to provide an "earned pathway to citizenship" for illegal immigrants, and has also presented an "opportunity economy" plan.

Harris was nominated as the Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden quit the presidential race amid mounting concerns over his age, particularly after his poor show in the debate with Donald Trump in June.

She is the first female, first Black, and first Asian American vice president. If elected president, the 59-year-old Harris would become the first woman in history to become the US president. The vice president is only the second woman ever nominated for the presidency by a major political party.

The Vice President is up against Donald Trump, the former President who is aiming for a return to the White House after his bitter exit in 2020.

The presidential elections in the United States are scheduled for November 5. (ANI)
