Kamala Harris is the first woman of color to become the nominee of a major U.S. political party.

In many ways, Harris ’ rise to presidential nominee amounts to a continuation of the arc that began with Obama on that summer evening in Boston two decades ago .

They have never formally worked together, either in the Senate or in Obama ’s administration.

Harris sought Obama 's advice when she launched her presidential campaign in 2019 .

She sought to model her campaign after his, even announcing an all in on Iowa strategy’ But she ultimately struggled to connect with voters who were drawn to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders , then-South Bend, Indiana , Mayor Pete Buttigieg and other rivals.

Obama offered similar advice to all candidates, but offered no endorsement in the primary.
