Kamala who will always have her back and vice versa. In an interview to the People, Maya Harris said the campaign against Donald Trump is an uphill journey and Kamala Harris campaign is the underdog though the race is very tight.
57-year-old Maya, a lawyer and a public policy advisor, said she is very proud to be part of Kamala Harris' presidential campaign and the feeling is extraordinary, electric.
"I am just so proud to be able to be out there in these states encouraging people to knock on every door, call every voter, text their friends and family members between now and Election Day, to really have those personal conversations that help people learn who Kamala is, what she's fighting for, why they believe in her," Maya told People magazine.
Is Maya Harris surprised that her sister is contesting for US President?
In the interview, as Maya recounted their childhood days and how they were brought up by a hard working mother who used to take the two sisters to her lab on weekends and gave them some work so that they just did not idle their time away, Maya said Kamala has always been fearless, relentless, tough and courageous. "She's never backed down from a challenge."
"She has always demonstrated leadership qualities from a very young age. She always stood up and has used her voice for good. But at the end of the day, these roles that she's had or that she has sought are about impact."
Their mother Shyamala Gopalan Harris, a breast cancer researcher, immigrated to the United States from India. "We watched our mother work long hours. She took us to her lab on the weekends. She gave us jobs to do while we were there, filing papers and cleaning beakers and pipettes so that we weren't idle and that we found some way to contribute."
