Vice President Kamala Harris' economist father has largely stayed out of the public spotlight, overwhelmingly refraining from discussing his daughter publicly.
Vice President Kamala Harris has frequently cited her upbringing and family as she crisscrosses the nation in an effort to rally support for her newly-formed presidential campaign, including touting her father in a rare mention at the DNC. 'My early memories of our parents together are very joyful ones. A home filled with laughter and music: Aretha, Coltrane and Miles. At the park, my mother would say, ‘Stay close.’ But my father would say, as he smiled, ‘Run, Kamala, run. Don’t be afraid.
He has since served as an expert on how to inspire economic growth for his home country of Jamaica, the Washington Post previously reported. Harris also still serves as a professor emeritus at Stanford following his retirement. He has notably remained relatively quiet about his daughter’s political successes, not joining her at the DNC or other political rallies and very rarely offering insight into his relationship with his daughter.
