“Kamala Harris may be the first. But she won’t be the last. #MadamVicePresident.”
Baroness Floella Benjamin also celebrated Ms Harris’s achievement and wrote on Twitter: “Just love this woman and everything she has achieved so far, which started when her mother gave her the love and confidence to aim high.”
I don’t think I fully let in how momentous this is that there will be a woman in the White House until now. A mixed woman. A black woman. A south Asian woman. Congratulations to @JoeBiden and Madame Vice President @KamalaHarris
