  • Summary

  • She was raised in Berkeley by civil rights activists and became politically active during anti-Apartheid protests at Howard University. Then she turned a career as a prosecutor into being one of the most progressive members of the Senate. She was the first Black woman and first South Asian person on a major-party presidential ticket, and is the first to be elected vice president. But who is she? Cop or progressive? Berkeley radical or Beltway insider? A six-part series on the making of a candidate — now a vice president — by reporters Joe Garofoli and Tal Kopan of the San Francisco Chronicle, which has been covering Harris from the beginning.

From her first political experiences — when her activist, immigrant parents brought her to protests in a stroller — through her pioneering stints as San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general, then on to the U.S. Senate and becoming the first Asian American and first African American woman nominated to a presidential ticket by a major party.

He invites her to join the ticket in August, and a moment from her debate with Vice President Mike Pence goes viral when she refuses to let him interrupt her. Reported by Tal Kopan and Joe Garofoli.

    Kamala Harris is elected to the Senate the same night that Donald Trump is elected president. The victory speech she’d planned suddenly becomes useless. Instead, she pledges to fight, and quickly becomes one of the most consistently progressive voices in the Senate and a fierce questioner of Jeff Sessions, Brett Kavanaugh and others.
