Kamala Harris’ religious roots reflect those of America’s changing faith footprint

July 24, 2024

President Joe Biden made history by withdrawing his candidacy for a second term. The reconfigured Democratic presidential ticket he endorsed, with Vice President Kamala Harris at the top, would be historic in itself, but would also be a map of America’s future.

If nominated by her party in the coming days, as it appears more certain as Democratic leaders coalesce around her, Harris would be the first Black woman to be nominated by a major party for president and the first of South Asian descent. She also has a diverse personal religious and spiritual history that is now far more representative of America’s multifaith makeup.
