WASHINGTON, DC: As per sources, former United States Senator and 49th Vice-President of the US Kamala Harris is 5 ft 2 in (1.57 m/157 cm) tall.

According to the Daily Mail, one of the issues Harris faced upon taking office was desk furniture that was sized for the "average male height" of her predecessors.

She is the first female vice president and the highest-ranking female official in the history of the US, as well as the first African-American and Asian-American VP.

Kamala Harris' feet did not touch the floor due to the chairs

Harris initially discovered that the "man-sized" chairs in her new office prevented her feet from touching the floor. Her staffers had to order new chairs for her desk to better match her stature.

According to a former assistant, the office chair had only seated vice-presidents of "average male height," and Harris was the first female vice-president.

Kamala Harris' height compared to President Joe Biden

The 46th and current president of the United States Joe Biden is 6 ft (1.83 m/183 cm) tall. Thus, Harris is a foot shorter than Biden.

According to Popbuzz, Rodrigo is 5 ft 4 in (1.63 m/163 cm) tall.

What did Kamala Harris fight for?

Harris took part in a CNN/Human Rights Campaign town hall on the subject of LGBTQIA+ rights in October 2019.

She vowed her support for "all of the folks who are fighting for equality" in instances that would decide whether gay and transgender people were covered by federal laws prohibiting workplace discrimination.

Harris highlighted the prevalence of hate crimes against Black trans women, stressing that LGBTQIA+ people of color were doubly vulnerable to prejudice.
