"My mother used to have a saying," the 55-year-old Harris is fond of recounting. "She would say to me 'You may be the first to do many things but make sure you're not the last'."
"Senator Harris is a tenacious and trailblazing leader who will make a great partner on the campaign trail," said Susan Rice, who served as national security advisor under president Barack Obama and was also under consideration to be Mr Biden's running mate. "It's dangerous and it's wrong - and has real life consequences for Asian Americans and Asian immigrants."
She was elected attorney general of California in 2010 and re-elected in 2014, the same year she married lawyer Douglas Emhoff. Ms Harris was elected to the Senate in November 2016, becoming just the second black female senator ever. "There was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public school, and she was bused to school every day," she said. "And that little girl was me."
