Willie Brown, now 90, has openly acknowledged his role in Harris’s career progression. In 2019, the former San Francisco mayor admitted their past romantic involvement, stating, “Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker. And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco.”
Harris’s career trajectory continued to soar. She became San Francisco’s district attorney in 2003 and leveraged this role to become California’s attorney general in 2010. After being re-elected in 2014, she won a U.S. Senate seat in 2017. Her 2019 presidential campaign, however, saw her spar with then-candidate Joe Biden, accusing him of racism over his stance during a 90s crime crackdown. Despite the friction, Biden selected Harris as his vice-presidential running mate, and last week he handed her the reins, facing immense pressure to step down.
The Trump campaign has struggled to find a unified strategy against Harris, who stands as the first Black woman to lead a major party’s presidential ticket. Harris’s background includes a challenging upbringing with modest financial means and a prolonged custody battle between her parents. Former classmates remember her as “spunky” and “super-cool,” with one noting she did not date during high school.
