Harris bursts through another barrier, becoming the first female, first Black and first South Asian vice president-elect

CNN  

CNN — Kamala Harris, who on Saturday became America’s first female, first Black and first South Asian vice president-elect, represents a new face of political power after an election all about who wields power and how they use it. Harris’ triumph, in particular, marks a new high point in a career of barrier-breaking accomplishments, from San Francisco district attorney to California attorney general to just the second-ever Black female US senator. Drew Angerer/Getty Images Harris confronts former Vice President Joe Biden, left, during the first Democratic debates in June 2019. Harris’ mother put it best: “Kamala, you may be the first to do many things, but make sure you’re not the last.” This story has been updated with remarks from Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on Saturday night.
