Harris will be the first Black woman and first woman of South Asian descent to serve as vice president, but her Senate departure leaves the chamber's roster without a Black woman.

Not only am I so excited that will she be the first, but I’m also thrilled that Biden is going to give her an actual meaningful role as VP! “Harris’s role will be far more than symbolic. Unusually for a vice-president whose official role is largely ceremonial, she will wield considerable power. Biden has vowed that Harris will be the “last person in the room” making important decisions, modelled on his relationship as vice-president with Obama, and has asked the vice-president-elect to bring her “lived experience” to every issue. Harris has said she wants to be a “full partner”.

I always find it odd that it isn’t standard for VP’s to be the “last person in the room”. They are elected. You’d think we’d want them to play a bigger role in decisions than people like the communications director or social media advisor.

“I feel a very big sense of responsibility … I will be the first, but I will not be the last,” “Personally it’s going to be an awesome feeling, and then she’ll have a sense of history because from a historical perspective there’s so many women who chipped away at that glass ceiling and now she has broken it. And I think that she will feel the weight of that history on her shoulders,”

I always get goosebumps and feel inspired whenever I read/hear that — “I will be the first, but I will not be the last.”

Together with her husband Doug Emhoff, who will become America’s first “second gentleman”, she will then take part in a pass in review, a tradition with members of the military, and attend a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington national cemetery with the new president and first lady, Dr Jill Biden.
