Take a firsthand look at Kamala Harris during her four years as America’s vice president. Pairing more than 100 pictures from White House photographers and excerpts from her speeches, this book offers a bold and authentic view of the woman who may be our next president.


Kamala Harris: The Historic Road to the White House takes you on her remarkable journey from the moment she climbs the Capitol steps on Inauguration Day through her fast-charging, 108-day campaign. The pictures depict a woman who is determined, strong and concerned. We see her crossing the United States—standing up for all people. And we read her stirring words about our past and the possibilities of a new America.


We are in a historic moment, and this book can help Americans understand the energy and grace that Harris brings.


“The path that led me here in recent weeks was no doubt unexpected,” Harris told the nation in her August keynote address at the Democratic National Convention. “But I’m no stranger to unlikely journeys.” Join her.

Kamala Harris

Kamala D. Harris served as the forty-ninth vice president of the United States from 2021 to 2025—the first woman in American history to hold the office. She began her career in the Alameda County district attorney’s office before being elected district attorney of San Francisco, where her Back on Track program became a national model for reducing recidivism.

As California’s attorney general, Harris prosecuted transnational gangs, big banks that defrauded homeowners, and for-profit colleges that targeted students and veterans. She defended the Affordable Care Act, fought for marriage equality, and pioneered the nation’s first open-data initiative in the criminal justice system. In the United States Senate, Harris fought for civil, immigrant, and voting rights, and gained national recognition for her incisive questioning in committee hearings.

As vice president, she led efforts to strengthen global alliances and address child poverty, gun violence, student debt, maternal health, economic opportunity, and reproductive rights—casting more tiebreaking votes than any vice president in history, including for pandemic relief and the largest climate investment ever. Throughout her career, she has always fought for the only client she has ever had: the people.
