Kamala Harris, trailblazer eyeing America's last glass ceiling

Kamala Harris, the U.S. vice president, overcame criticism to gain Democratic support. After Joe Biden withdrew, Harris became the 2024 frontrunner against Donald Trump. Advocating for abortion rights, she engaged suburban women and Black men. Raised by immigrant parents in Oakland, she rose from attorney general to vice president. Known for the busing controversy and Mexican border visit, her husband Douglas Emhoff supports her. Set to become the first female commander in chief, she endured high staff turnover and criticism. The Biden campaign backs her, and the Wall Street Journal quoted her as ready to serve.
