No profile. No issues. Miserable popularity ratings. In the battle for the White House, Vice President Kamala Harris could tip the scales. Will the 59-year-old cost the ageing Joe Biden his re-election? Or will she soon become the first female US president in history? Krone+ in search of clues.

She was once seen as the female version of Barack Obama, the next star of US politics. But Kamala Devi Harris has not delivered. For four years, she has been the first woman - the first black woman - to hold the office of US Vice President. The problem: the 59-year-old has hardly made an impression. She has never managed to get the Americans on her side.
