Not only that, Harris will also become the first person of African-American and Asian-American descent to this role.
Kamala will assume the role by Mike Pence, as vice president of 49th but why 49th instead of 46th as Joe Biden's presidential number? All because of the 32nd president of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt. He is known for the longest presidency with four mandates. This allowed him to have three vice presidents.
The first was John Garner, who decided to announce his candidacy for president by 1940 after his relationship with Roosevelt waned.
His second vice president was Henry A. Wallace, who was removed from the re-election list.
The third deputy chairman was Harry S. Truman, who stayed with Roosevelt until his death in 1945. Truman later became the 33rd president of the United States.
