Former Vice President Joe Biden and U.S. Senator Kamala Harris shake hands before the start of the second night of the second U.S. 2020 presidential Democratic candidates debate in Detroit, Michigan, U.S., July 31, 2019., former Vice President Joe Biden announced he had selected California Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate in the 2020 presidential election.
The decision made Harris the first Black woman and first South Asian-American woman vice presidential nominee for a major political party in U.S. history. Harris' selection also marked the first time the Democratic ticket will not have a candidate who graduated from an Ivy League school since 1984. Biden attended the University of Delaware and the Syracuse University College of Law; Harris attended Howard University and the University of California, Hastings College of the Law.
