Kamala Harris annoys younger sister Maya and gets the last laugh as sibling rivalry plays out in remastered clip

To the world, she’s the vice chairman, but to her sister, Maia Kamala Harris, she’s simply “big sister.” A revived video from 2012 went viral in which the siblings laugh and jokingly repeat the proper title for his or her older sister, Harris, while their younger sister vehemently opposes its use.

The clip is from a joint interview with Newsweek and The Daily Beast at the Women of the World conference, seemingly showing off their playful sibling rivalry as they discussed women’s issues.

At the time, Harris made history as the first woman in her state, the first Asian American and the first African American to serve as attorney general of California.

What made you video What was especially charming was that Maya refused to call her older sister “General Harris” — which Maya believed was the title of the sitting attorney general.

“What do they call the attorney generals when their attorney general is general?” she asked her interlocutor. “They call them ‘generals.’”

Harris interrupted and said, “Yeah, they call me General Harris, and she hates it.”

“When she was elected attorney general, she said, ‘You realize you’re going to have to start calling me General Harris,’” Maya continued.

Joking, in true little sister fashion, “So I guess when she becomes president of the United States, I’ll call her ‘Miss President,’ but until then, you’ll just be Kamala.”

Harris, now the Democratic presidential candidate, jokingly replied, “No, I’m Big Sister… Big Sister General!”

The two women, who had been smiling and giggling before, burst into contagious laughter — the same form of laughter that the Republican Party is now mocking the vice chairman with during her historic reelection campaign.

One Instagram user re-published carousel video, nine other images featuring other scenes from the campaign, including clips of Harris and her vice presidential running mate Tim Walz, clips from the Democratic National Convention and even Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance’s doughnut run.

Many people commented on the post, drawing attention to the Harris sisters’ essential video.

“That laugh was black as lightning!” one person wrote. Another added, “When they laugh at the end, the leaning forward is priceless.”

Someone else said: “I burst out laughing too because that’s something my big sister would say!!”

The fourth comment gave a taste of what they think will occur if Harris becomes president.

“The White House is going to be so full of love, laughter, and acceptance of everyone in this country,” one comment read. “I no longer like veterans who weren’t captured. Don’t go back to your own country. Don’t make fun of the disabled anymore. Don’t describe women by their appearance anymore. I can’t wait, Madam President.”

One comment on Platform X even went as far as to say that Maya seemingly predicted her sister’s future.

“This is how @mayaharris_ predicted it,” you possibly can read on Twitter under the video.

Harris and Maya are the daughters of the late Dr. Shyamala Gopalan and Dr. Donald J. Harris, two immigrants who got here to the United States in the Nineteen Sixties to pursue education.

The two met, fell in love, and decided to remain in America, where they became deeply involved in fighting for causes near their hearts, such as the civil rights movement. Dr. Gopalan, who’s from India, and Dr. Harris, who’s from Jamaica, married in 1963, starting a family rooted in activism and social justice.

The vice chairman was born in 1964 in Oakland, California, and raised in Berkeley along with her younger sister, Maya, who was born in 1967. They were raised in Berkeley. Although their parents divorced in 1971, Kamala and Maya were raised with a deep appreciation for his or her Indian and Jamaican heritage.

While Harris has change into a household name, especially after making history as the first woman, first Black woman, and first South Asian woman to serve as vice chairman, fewer people learn about the impressive accomplishments of her sister, Maia.

Maya is a seasoned attorney who played a key role in Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign as a senior policy advisor, According to to NPR.

She later served as chair of her sister’s 2020 presidential campaign, showcasing her expertise in political strategy and advocacy. Maja’s commitment to social justice is further evidenced by her previous role as Vice President for Democracy, Rights, and Justice at the Ford Foundation, one in all the world’s most distinguished philanthropies.

Maya, a graduate of Stanford Law School, has dedicated her profession to promoting civil rights and democracy, just as her parents had done a long time earlier. Her work, while perhaps less visible than that of her older sister, has had a profound impact on the lives of many, making her a force in her own right.
