Summary:
"On November 7, 2020, Kamala Harris, a senator from California, became the first woman and the first African American and Southeast Asian American person to be elected to the vice presidency. While her nomination for this position was not unexpected, herrise to national prominence was one filled with unexpected turns and obstacles. After failing her first bar exam to become a lawyer, she tried again and passed. From there, she quickly rose through the legal ranks, serving as district attorney of San Francisco, then California's attorney general, and soon, senator. As a politician, Kamala Harris has been a vocal champion of progressive reforms and women's rights. This exciting story details the defining moments of what led to her nomination and all the monumental ones since that have shaped her career and the future of America"-- Provided by publisher.
