And during the biggest moment of Ms Harris's career so far - the Democratic convention in Chicago - they will also get to know the family members who will stand beside her, as well as those who helped her get there.

Unlike her rival Donald Trump, Ms Harris has only been married once and is a step-parent. Here are the members of her big, modern family.

Ms Harris met her now-husband, Los Angeles entertainment lawyer Doug Emhoff in 2013, while she was serving as California’s attorney general. They were married the following year. Since then Mr Emhoff, 59, has stuck close to his wife’s side as she has risen in the ranks of US politics.

In 2020, when Ms Harris made history as the first black and South Asian woman to become vice-president, Mr Emhoff made history too as the first husband of an American president or vice-president, as well as the first Jewish spouse of a vice-president.
