8 october 2024 в 01:13
Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States, is now a Democratic candidate for president in 2024. In 2020, she became the first woman, first African American, and first Asian American to hold the position of Vice President, serving alongside President Joe Biden. As she aims to become the first female president of the United States against Republican candidate Donald Trump, many still want to learn more about Kamala, including her background, age, family, and more. Her White House campaign began just three months before the November 2024 elections.
Kamala was born in Oakland, California, and briefly raised in Berkeley, California. Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, and father, Donald J. Harris, worked as educators for several years, and their family moved to various university towns in Illinois and Wisconsin. After splitting with Donald, Shyamala returned to California to raise her daughters, Kamala and Maya, before moving to Montreal, Canada.
Kamala is 59 years old. Her birthday is on October 20, so she will soon turn 60, shortly before the November 2024 elections.
In 2014, Kamala married her husband, Doug Emhoff. The couple first met on a blind date in 2013. Doug was an entertainment lawyer who later became a partner at Venable LLP in Los Angeles.
Kamala and Doug do not have children of their own. However, Doug is the father of Ella and Cole, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Kerstin. Kamala is a stepmother to Ella and Cole.
Doug, Ella, and Cole all appeared at the 2024 Democratic National Convention to support Kamala.
Kamala gradually rose in the political world. She previously served as the District Attorney of San Francisco, then became the Attorney General of California. Ultimately, Kamala became a senator before Joe chose her as his running mate in the 2020 presidential election
