Kamala Harris is not only a White House, but also history. At 56, the Democrat becomes the first vice president of the United States. The former California attorney general will be officially sworn in on Jan.20, 2021 with Joe Biden at the White House. Ambitious, the American is not her first success: the first Indo-American in the Senate, the first black woman to become a prosecutor in San Francisco and the first black woman elected in California. A long list of successes, thanks to a fetish object, which places the "Obama Girl", as the third most powerful woman in the world according to the magazine Forbes, just behind Angela Merkel and Christine Lagarde. A place she is not about to give up and the origin of her first name confirms it! "Lotus","A flower that blooms on water, but sinks its roots firmly to the bottom"remind our colleagues of Paris Match in a portrait dedicated to Kamala Harris, Thursday, January 7, 2021.
Barack Obama, a strong support?
The American of Indian and Jamaican origins has a background similar to that of former President Barack Obama. Like Donald Trump's predecessor, she comes from the legal world. Her friendship with Michelle Obama's husband dates back to 2004. In fact, she was the first California civil servant to support him during his candidacy for the presidency of the United States. The latter has always shown great admiration for the future vice-president's work, sometimes going … too far. "The best fucked prosecutor in the country" had he called Kamala Harris before to apologize for this "macho indelicacy".
Barack Obama continues to support the politician. In November 2020, on Twitter, he was delighted with the victory of Joe Biden, which he immediately associated with his female partner. "By choosing Senator Kamala Harris to become the next U.S. Vice President, he (Editor's note: Joe Biden) shed light on his judgmental abilities and his character (…) Now Joe has found the perfect partner to help him measure up to the very real challenges America is facing right now, and with which it will be confronted in the years to come " he had published after their victory.
Although she particularly respects the two terms of the former Oval Office, Kamala Harris nevertheless wants to emancipate and no longer be "the female version of Obama".
