Kamala Harris will step into the United States vice presidency on Wednesday, making history as the first woman and the first person of colour to assume the role of second-in-command.
Upon being sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor on the steps of the US Capitol, Harris will also be entering the next step in her political journey as President-elect Joe Bidens deputy and an early contender to be the next US president.
Harris is a brilliant, dynamic woman and policymaker, who has shown she can gain the trust of a large swath of the Democratic Party, Derrick Plumber, a Democratic strategist, told Al Jazeera. That solidifies her in her own right, not only as vice president but into the future.
But, he added, her fate will now be tied to the Biden administrations success: As goes the president, goes the vice president.
