Mr. Biden made history in 2020 by appointing Ms. Harris as the first ever Indian American, African American and woman as the Vice-President of the country.
In the summer of 2024, after a disastrous Presidential debate with Donald Trump in Atlanta, Mr. Biden withdrew from the race and went ahead to endorse Ms. Harris for Presidency. Ms. Harris soon became the Democratic Party’s Presidential nominee.
However, Ms. Harris lost to Mr. Trump in the November 5th Presidential election. Ms. Harris has not announced her future plans yet.
