The 2020 presidential campaign of Kamala Harris, a United States senator from California from January 2017 to 2021, officially began on January 21, 2019, with an announcement on Good Morning America.[4] Harris had widely been considered a "high profile" candidate for the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries since 2016.[5][6][7][8][9]

Citing a lack of funds, Harris officially withdrew her candidacy on December 3, 2019.[1][10]

On March 8, 2020, Harris endorsed former vice president Joe Biden.[11] Harris was chosen by Biden to be his running mate on August 11, 2020.[12] Biden and Harris won the general election, and she became the first female vice president of the United States.[13] Biden initially ran for re-election in 2024 but would later withdraw from the race and endorse Harris, who launched her second campaign for president that same day.[14]
