Harris could become the 1st female U.S. leader; Asia's had several

NEW YORK -- Vice President Kamala Harris' official nomination on Monday as the Democratic Party presidential nominee will be the second time a woman heads a major-party ticket in the U.S., a country that has never elected a female president.

Should Harris win the election in November, it would mark a historic moment for the major democracy and a powerful symbol of progress just over a century after women won the right to vote in the country.
