This is the electoral history of Kamala Harris, the 49th and current vice president of the United States. She previously served as a United States senator from California (2017–2021), the 32nd attorney general of California (2011–2017), and the 27th district attorney of San Francisco (2004–2011). A Democrat, Harris was a candidate in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries but withdrew her candidacy on December 3, 2019, citing a lack of funds.[1][2]
On March 8, 2020, Harris endorsed former vice president Joe Biden.[3] Harris was chosen by Biden to be his running mate on August 11, 2020.[4] Biden and Harris went on to win the 2020 general election. On January 20, 2021, Harris became the first female vice president and the highest-ranking female official in U.S. history, as well as the first Asian American Vice President of the United States.[5] Harris is the presidential nominee of the Democratic Party in the 2024 election following Biden's withdrawal from the race.[6]
