Sen. Kamala Harris is the first Black woman and first Asian American person on a major party's presidential ticket.

. Harris joined the candidate's wife Jill in June to discuss healthcare with Wisconsin officials."I have decided that I am, with great enthusiasm, going to endorse Joe Biden for president of the United States," Harris said in a video statement."I believe in Joe. I really believe in him, and I have known him for a long time.”Biden didn't squelch speculation that Harris could end up on the Democratic ticket.

“I’m so lucky to have you be a part of this partnership going forward. Working together, we can make a great deal of progress,” he told Harris at a virtual fundraiser in April after she introduced him. “I’m coming for you, kid.” Harris in May emerged as an early favorite among Biden aides, top donors and surrogates, according to a report from Politico. South Carolina Democrat Bakari Sellers, who was a top surrogate for Harris, told Politico that Harris "deserves to be chosen." He added that “a lot of people are pushing for her. She has a lot of support.”
