Kamala Harris, the first Black woman and first South Asian American woman to become vice-president-elect, began her victory speech by acknowledging all the women who have worked to secure and protect the right to vote.

"But while I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last," she said. "Because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities."

"We have a lot of work to do," she said. "But I know that together, we can build a better future for our country."
