Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleKamala Harris, a first-term senator and former California attorney general known for her rigorous questioning of US President Donald Trump’s nominees, enters the Democratic presidential race.
Vowing to “bring our voices together,” Harris would be the first woman to hold the presidency and the second African-American if she succeeds.
Harris, a daughter of immigrant parents who grew up in Oakland, California, is one of the earliest high-profile Democrats to join what is expected to be a crowded field. She makes her long anticipated announcement on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
“I am running for president of the United States,” she says. “And I’m very excited about it.”
