Kamala Harris, Joe Biden’s current deputy, is set to run for another term as vice-president. Harris, 58, made history back in 2020 by becoming the first female vice-president. She was also the first African-American and Asian-American to hold the position.

Kamala wrote in a tweet: "As Americans, we believe in freedom and liberty - and we believe that our democracy will only be as strong as our willingness to fight for it. That’s why @JoeBiden and I are running for re-election."
