Kamala Harris' first tweet after being sworn in as Biden's deputy
Kamala Harris, US Vice President Joe Biden, posted her first tweet moments ago after she was sworn in before Congress.
The US Vice President’s Twitter account said today, Wednesday, “ready to serve”.
On Wednesday, Kamala Harris, Vice President-elect Joe Biden, was sworn in before Congress.
Harris thus makes history as the first non-white woman to hold the position.
Harris was sworn in before Supreme Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor, the first female judge of Hispanic origin in court history.
Sotomayor was nominated to the Supreme Court by former President Barack Obama in 2009, and is similar to "Harris", where Sotomayor has broken barriers throughout her career.
