From a young American hopeful to a potential successor of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris is making waves in US politics. Will she break the ultimate barrier and become the first female president?

Kamala Harris, the Vice-President of the United States, is captivating the nation's attention as a potential contender to succeed Joe Biden. As a young American woman, the prospect of witnessing the first female president is monumental. Harris, with her impressive political journey from local prosecutor to district attorney to California attorney-general, has shattered glass ceilings and emerged as a frontrunner for the Democratic nomination. With endorsements pouring in and the support of major Democratic Party funders, Harris is positioning herself as a formidable candidate in the upcoming elections. The anticipation of a Harris versus Trump showdown is unprecedented in US political history, adding a layer of excitement and uncertainty to the race.
