Mr. Harris has a diverse background of transition from the judicial world to the political world, in addition to the origin of second generation immigrants whose father is from Jamaica and whose mother is from India.

Harris was born in California to the father of an economist and the mother of a cancer researcher, according to US media and other sources. His parents soon divorced and he grew up with his mother. The name “Kamara” means Hass flower in Sanskrit, and it is said that she often visited her mother’s homeland, India, from an early age. In a later interview, she said, “My mother looks bigger than she really is” and said she respects the steps she’s taken to grow up as immigrants of colored races.

◆ The search for Mr. Trump of “suspicion of Russia”

When I went to Howard University, a prestigious black school in the capital Washington, I participated in activities to improve the status of women. After becoming a prosecutor in his hometown of California, he rose to the state judiciary and worked on police reforms, such as requiring him to wear a body camera. In 2017, he became a member of the Senate.

As a politician, his name has improved by rigorously pursuing witnesses in hearings on “Russia’s suspicion” of President Trump. That brave attitude was once directed at Mr. Byden, who fought for the nomination of a presidential candidate.

In a debate in June last year, Mr. Byden noted that he once opposed measures to send students in black areas to schools in white areas to eliminate racial profiling. “I was the girl on the bus,” she attacked and made a name for herself.

◆ Past female vice president candidate

Harris ran for the party’s presidential candidate in January of last year. Although the approval rating rose for a time, it did not last long and he withdrew before the preliminary elections began in earnest, and in March of this year he announced his support for Mr. Byden.

Around the same time, Byden declared that he would “pick a woman” as a vice presidential candidate. More than 10 people have been named, including left-wing White Senator Warren, but Harris has been a favorite from the start. The two main political parties are the third candidate for vice president, and the last two candidates are white and have been defeated.
