For Indian-Americans, the election of Kamala Harris as the next US vice president is truly a historic moment and a day they have been long waiting for. She will also be the first-ever Indian-origin, first-ever Black and first-ever African-American vice president of the US.

Biden, 77, and Harris, 56, would be sworn in as the president and vice president of the United States on January 20, 2021.

Biden defeated incumbent Republican US President Donald Trump in the closely-fought presidential election, according to the American media.
