Kamala Harris launches presidential campaign for 2024 elections

Kamala Harris, born to immigrant parents, is running for president in the 2024 U.S. elections. Her mother, a breast cancer researcher from India, inspired her commitment to social justice. Harris has a background in law and has been a prominent advocate for equality. She became vice president on January 20, 2021, making history as the first woman, first African-American, and first person of South Asian descent in that role. Since then, she has focused on issues like voting rights, gun control, and environmental protection. With President Joe Biden not seeking re-election, Harris is positioning herself as a candidate committed to social justice and economic equity. Her campaign emphasizes the importance of democratic institutions and ensuring everyone has a voice.
