Vice President-elect Kamala Harris sworn in will preside over Chief Justice Sonia Sotomayor

The vice president-elect Kamala Harris will be sworn in by a Supreme Court judge next Wednesday Sonia Sotomayor, as revealed by an official’s assistant to the US media.

The source of ABC News indicated that Harris was inspired by the background of Judge Sotomayor who, like Harris, served as a prosecutor before reaching the high forum. Sotomayor is the first Latina in the Supreme Court of the United States and identifies as Puerto Rican.

The outlet said Harris will be sworn in using two Bibles, one that belonged to late Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, and another that belonged to Regina Shelton, a woman who was like a second mother to Harris and his sister.

Marshall has often been said by the vice president-elect as one of the inspirations of her legal career.

On November 7, Kamala Harris, 56, made history by becoming the first black woman to be elected vice president of the United States, while removing the barriers that allowed the entrenchment of men – mostly white – in the highest echelons of the United States. American politics for more than two centuries.

Previously, she was the second black woman to win a seat in the federal senate.
