USA: Kamala Harris in campaign order, former Starbucks boss in ambush

Democrat Kamala Harris sets her pace in the 2020 US Presidential campaign, even though she faces stiff competition inside and outside her party, with the possible candidacy of the Starbucks founder. Howard Schultz.

The California senator is attending Monday a public meeting in Des Moines, Iowa (center), the state that will launch the primary elections early next year.

After announcing her candidacy on January 21, the day celebrating the civil rights icon Martin Luther King, she officially launched her campaign Sunday in Oakland, her hometown, ahead of 20,000 supporters.

It was here that Barack Obama appeared before California voters in 2007, before becoming the first black to be elected President of the United States.

Kamala Harris, 54, born to a Jamaican father and Indian mother, hopes to be the first black woman that enter the White House.
