Vice President-elect Kamala Harris addresses supporters in Wilmington, Delaware: first woman to be vice president, first woman of color to be vice president, first woman of South Asian descent, first daughter of immigrants. Harris delivered her first speech as United States Vice President-elect on Saturday night Nov. 7, 2020, in an all-white suit, paying homage to suffragettes of the 20th century who worked to get women the right to vote in the United States.
