Kamala Harris's Political Background and Ambitions
Kamala Harris's rise in California politics involved leveraging relationships with powerful figures like Willie Brown, which propelled her from a relatively unknown prosecutor to the forefront of San Francisco's political scene and beyond. Despite struggling in the 2010 election for attorney general against Steve Cooley, a law and order Republican, she managed to win, showcasing her competitive side.
