While addressing the nation in the first speech after the victory, Kamala Harris remembered her Indian mother on Saturday and paid tribute to her.

"I'm grateful to the woman most responsible for my presence here today, my mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris. When she came here from India at the age of 19, she maybe didn't imagine this moment. But she believed so deeply in America where moment like this is possible," Kamala Harris said.
