Vice President Kamala Harris not only lost the Electoral College vote to Donald Trump, but she also became the first Democrat in decades to lose the popular vote. Come January, Harris will be moving on.

It was this all but miraculous switchover, which angry and confused Republicans called a “coup,” that in turn produced the sense of relief and excitement that made the DNC a lovefest and gave Harris the kind of almost-immediate lead over Trump (in fundraising, enthusiasm, and the polls) that Biden could never achieve.

Vice President Kamala Harris' upbringing and college experiences had a profound impact on her life, and, of course, shaped her career in politics as well.
