In the June 7 primary, Harris came in first with 40% of the vote and won with pluralities in most counties. Harris faced congresswoman and fellow Democrat Loretta Sanchez in the general election. It was the first time a Republican did not appear in a general election for the Senate since California began directly electing senators in 1914. Harris has said life imprisonment without parole is a better and more cost-effective punishment than the death penalty, and has estimated that the resultant cost savings could pay for a thousand additional police officers in San Francisco alone. Under Harris, the D.A.'s office obtained more than 1,900 convictions for marijuana offenses, including persons simultaneously convicted of marijuana offenses and more serious crimes.
The writer of the original story, Laura Italiano, claimed that she was forced to write the story against her will and she resigned from the New York Post as a result. Hours after her candidacy announcement, she tied a record set by Bernie Sanders in 2016 for the most donations raised in the day following an announcement. More than 20,000 people attended her formal campaign launch event in her hometown of Oakland, California, on January 27, according to a police estimate.

In the meantime, Harris and her husband, second gentleman Douglas Emhoff, were temporarily housed at Blair House, the president’s guest quarters that are within walking distance of the White House. It’s a gorgeous place and the commute to work is certainly convenient, but it must be nice to finally unpack your bags in your actual new home—for the next four years, at least. "Well, it's not my first visit," Harris said, raising a finger and an eyebrow towards a reporter grilling her over the timing of her border visit. Gunzenhausen is a town in the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district, in Bavaria, Germany.
According to a loose tradition, each resident gets to oversee the home’s improvements and make suggestions for the 128-year-old, Queen Anne–style mansion. DeSantis has said that every community in America, not just those on the border with Mexico, should be “sharing the load” in dealing with what he has framed as a failed border policy by Joe Biden. Abbott said that he will continue to send migrants to “sanctuary cities” until Biden and Harris “step up and do their jobs to secure the border”.
A look at Kamala Harris’ houses and $8 million real estate portfolio
According to The Wall Street Journal, the $5 million, 3,500-square-foot home that Harris and Emhoff co-own is located on a busy street dotted with Mediterranean-style houses and more traditional shingled, clapboard homes. Last week, an aide told Fox News that new VP and her husband are staying at the president's guest house to "allow for repairs to the home that are more easily conducted with the home unoccupied." This maintenance concerned chimney liners and other household updates, the aide said. Keep reading for an in-depth look at the people who inspired Harris throughout her life and helped mold her into the woman she is today. The unit measures 1,000 square feet of living space and despite its posh appearance, is actually considered a pretty inexpensive place to live for the area. Its unique, modern design, as well as its convenient location, makes it a prime piece of real estate.
The home, with four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, was built in 1948 on a one-third-acre lot. Fans haven’t seen much of Harris’ Brentwood house, except a peek at a messy kitchen with gray drawers, gray cabinets and a white countertop, a recent Instagram post showed. Harris’ husband bought this 3,500-square-foot house two years before he and Harris married.Harris’ husband bought this 3,500-square-foot house in for $2.8 million. News reports have indicated that Harris is keen to incorporate some personal touches, including elements that echo her California roots as well as her cultural heritage as the first Black and South Asian woman to reside here.

The latest transfers are an escalation of a series of actions by Texas and Florida, both led by Republicans, to move migrants without warning to Democratic-leaning areas. On Wednesday, DeSantis of Florida chartered two planes to take about 50 migrant adults and children to the wealthy liberal island of Martha’s Vineyard, in Massachusetts, forcing local residents to scramble to help provide food and shelter for the unexpected newcomers. In 2013, 2020, and 2021, Time included Harris on the Time 100, Time's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. In 2016, the 20/20 Bipartisan Justice Center awarded Harris the Bipartisan Justice Award along with Senator Tim Scott. In a debunked story by the New York Post in April 2021, it was claimed that Harris's children's book Superheroes Are Everywhere was being distributed en masse through "welcome kits" given to migrant children at a shelter in Long Beach, California. In reality, only a single copy of the book had been donated by a member of the public.
Vice President Kamala Harris finally resides in her official residence on the grounds of the U.S. "It was the place where the former president ... put in place some of his immigration policies that we felt were so problematic," she told reporters. "It is here in El Paso that the return to Mexico policy from the previous administration was implemented," she said, slamming Trump's border policy.
"VP Harris claims our border is 'secure' & denies the crisis. We’re sending migrants to her backyard to call on the Biden Administration to do its job & secure the border," Abbott tweeted after the convoy of immigrants arrived. When Senator Harris is working on The Hill, the Orlando Sentinel reports that she sleeps in a 1,700-square-foot, two-bedroom apartment in Westlight. The complex is complete with floor-to-ceiling windows, a heated rooftop pool, and a state of the art fitness center.
Harris was criticized for accepting the donation because Mnuchin purportedly profited from the subprime mortgage crisis through OneWest Bank; she later voted against his confirmation as treasury secretary in February 2017. In 2019, Harris's campaign stated that the decision not to pursue prosecution hinged on the state's inability to subpoena OneWest. Her spokesman said, "There was no question OneWest conducted predatory lending, and Senator Harris believes they should be punished. Unfortunately, the law was squarely on their side and they were shielded from state subpoenas because they're a federal bank." In 1990, Harris was hired as a deputy district attorney in Alameda County, California, where she was described as "an able prosecutor on the way up". In 1994, Speaker of the California Assembly Willie Brown, who was then dating Harris, appointed her to the state Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and later to the California Medical Assistance Commission.
In November, Harris called for an investigation into the death of Roxsana Hernández, a transgender woman and immigrant who died in ICE custody. In January, Harris was appointed to the Senate Judiciary Committee after the resignation of Al Franken. Later that month, Harris questioned Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen for favoring Norwegian immigrants over others and claiming to be unaware that Norway is a predominantly white country. Senator from California, Senator Barbara Boxer announced in January 2015 that she would not run for reelection in 2016. In September 2014, Harris's office argued unsuccessfully in a court filing against the early release of prisoners, citing the need for inmate firefighting labor.
Some charities that work with new migrants have argued that the transferees were misled as to where they were going, meaning they were essentially trafficked by the Republican governors. The migrants affected are largely those who are legally in the US, at least temporarily, while their claims to stay, including for asylum to escape violent regimes, are processed. Several of the migrants told journalists there was nobody at the airport to greet them, and they walked almost four miles to find help in the town, where they were put up in a church overnight.
Harris has said she struggled with understanding her French immersion, so her mother sent her to an English-speaking school for high school. This would no longer have been possible the next year, when Quebec passed a law requiring all immigrants who did not previously have English schooling in Quebec to enroll their children in French-speaking schools. During the hearing, Barr remained defiant about the misrepresentations in the four-page summary he had released ahead of the full report. When asked by Harris if he had reviewed the underlying evidence before deciding not to charge the President with obstruction of justice, Barr admitted that neither he, Rod Rosenstein, nor anyone in his office reviewed the evidence supporting the report before making the charging decision. Harris later called for Barr to resign, and accused him of refusing to answer her questions because he could open himself up to perjury, and stating his responses disqualified him from serving as U.S. attorney general. Two days later, Harris demanded again that the Department of Justice inspector general Michael E. Horowitz investigate whether Attorney General Barr acceded to pressure from the White House to investigate Trump's political enemies.
That is what happens when you take a fake and make him feel like he can do anything. The truth is the Republicans let him do pretty much anything he wanted to do including but not limited to trampling all over the US Constitution, taking America from a revered country to a laughing stock, and committing so many criminal acts that we could not keep up with it all. Sadly, he will not likely have to pay for his crimes and that is why it will take a very long time for America to be great again for real. Kamala Harris is the first female, first black, and first Asian Vice President in United States history.
