Maya Harris Shows Support for Kamala Harris’ Big Sister After Sharing Viral Video of Their Sibling Rivalry

Kamala Harris’ family couldn’t predict the longer term, but Maya Harris is not surprised that her older sister is on target to develop into the subsequent president of the United States.

Maya has been within the highlight recently for supporting Kamala in her campaigns and the resurgence of clips that gave online viewers a glimpse into the sibling relationship.

“You see today, she is a force,” Maya said in an exclusive interview People. “She is fearless, tenacious, tough and brave. I mean, she really has been like that since we were kids. She never backed down from a challenge.”

As the vice chairman’s younger sister, Maya, 57, joined the ultimate leg of her sister’s campaign as a surrogate family.

While Kamala embarks on what Maya calls “a long road and a long journey,” she says she “wouldn’t be anywhere else,” and their bond as sisters is “more important” than ever. “We are sisters doing what sisters do,” she said.

“She’s my sister and I will always support her and stand by her side and have her back like I know she has mine,” Maya later added.

Maya has been influencing politics and civil rights for over 20 years. The achieved lawyer served as Hillary Clinton’s senior policy advisor during her 2016 presidential campaign, serving because the leading policy experts tasked with developing Clinton’s domestic policy agenda. She also served as her sister’s campaign chairwoman during her 2020 presidential primaries.

The Stanford University law graduate admits that while her sister “will never stop seeing me as her little sister,” Kamala respects her contributions, which she considers a real testament to her character.

“Kamala welcomes advice not only from me, but from anyone she meets who has experience and perspective that she may not have. She really listens to people,” Maya explained. “She respects other people’s points of view, even in the event that they differ from hers. She respects what she may not know and what another person may help enlighten her to. And that is what she is.”

The difficult situation of Maya, who will at all times remain the younger sister, is clearly visible within the 2012 film, which was released after a joint interview with “Newsweek” and “The Daily Beast” throughout the “Women in the World” conference. Maya and Kamala exchanged some playful banter about Kamala.

At the time, Harris made history as her state’s first woman, the primary Asian American and the primary African American woman to function California’s attorney general.

Although she didn’t claim it, some consider that Maya apparently predicted her sister’s future.

– What do they call attorneys general if their lawyer is a general? – she asked the interlocutor. “They call them ‘generals.’

Harris paused and said, “Yes, they call me General Harris and she hates it.”

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

“So I have a feeling that when she becomes President of the United States, I’ll call her ‘Miss President,’ but until then, you’ll just be Kamala.”

“No, I’m just a big sister, a general,” Kamala added, and so they each burst out laughing.

Maya supports her sister’s presidential campaign to construct the center class and support an American nation that reflects her upbringing. Kamala and Maya often praise their late mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, a breast cancer researcher who immigrated to the United States from Chennai, India.

“We watched our mother work long hours,” Maya said. “On weekends, she would take us to her lab. She gave us work while we were there, filing papers and cleaning beakers and pipettes so that we wouldn’t be idle and so that we could contribute in some way to this goal.”

Their father, Donald Jasper Harris, an economist and professor emeritus at Stanford University, was born in Browns Town, Jamaica.

She added that the “little girl” who attended the civil rights march along with her parents still lives in Kamala, but now she will make an impact, which is all she ever wanted.

Although tensions and stakes are high, Maya revealed that the Harris sisters are “happy” with what lies ahead within the 2024 election against former President Donald Trump.
