The 2020 presidential campaign of Kamala Harris, a United States senator from California from January 2017 to 2021, officially began on January 21, 2019, with an announcement on Good Morning America. Harris had widely been considered a "high profile" candidate for the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries since 2016.

Citing a lack of funds, Harris officially withdrew her candidacy on December 3, 2019.

On March 8, 2020, Harris endorsed former vice president Joe Biden. Harris was chosen by Biden to be his running mate on August 11, 2020. Biden and Harris won the general election, and she became the first female vice president of the United States. Biden initially ran for re-election in 2024 but would later withdraw from the race and endorse Harris, who launched her second campaign for president that same day.
