Kamala Harris has made history by becoming the first female Vice-President-elect, a year after her own presidential dream was brought to a halt.
The 55-year-old will be running the country alongside Mr Biden at a critical time in its history - trying to unite after a bitter few months and arresting the surge of coronavirus cases gripping parts of the US.
She will also be the first black and the first Asian American vice-president.
The California Democrat was born in Oakland, California, to two immigrant parents - an Indian-born mother and Jamaican-born father.
After her parents' divorce, Ms Harris was raised primarily by her Hindu single mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, a cancer researcher and civil rights activist.
