Will Kamala Harris succeed in becoming America’s first female president? | US Election 2024 News

Kamala Harris, the daughter of immigrants from Jamaica and India, has become the first Black woman and first person of South Asian descent to accept the presidential nomination of a major party in the United States.

If elected, she would be the first female US president.

At the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Harris promised to be a leader for all Americans.

She also called for a ceasefire in Gaza while saying she stands up for “Israel’s right to defend itself”.

But how will she be different from President Joe Biden? And can she beat Republican candidate Donald Trump?
