'We did it, we did it Joe,' squealed Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris yesterday as she congratulated Joe Biden on his victory. Now the pair will make history together - he as the oldest ever President, she as both the first female and the first black and Asian American to be Vice President.
Branded a radical Left-wing socialist by Mr Trump, Ms Harris is so woke that she lists her personal pronouns - 'she/her' - in her Twitter profile. Her mother was from India and her father was Jamaican. After they divorced, she was raised by her Hindu single mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, a cancer researcher and civil-rights activist.
'My mother used to have a saying, and she would say to me, "Kamala, you may be the first to do many things, but make sure you're not the last,"' Ms Harris recalled last year.
Given Mr Biden's age, it is thought likely she will contest the next Presidential election for the Democrats in 2024.
'My mother always used to say, "Don't just sit around and complain about things. Do something,"' she tweeted after Mr Biden announced that he had chosen her as his running mate.
