Kamala Harris is on the   path to become the first Senator of Indian origin - and the first black Senator from California . Harris  received  endorsements from key Democratic leaders and organizations which will help her to make her ground more strong.

Harris is dubbed  as ''California's Hillary Clinton,''  has to face  strong  challengers for the seat including Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom and billionaire environmental activist Tom Steyer.

According to sources all three are said to be backing down after Harris, whose mother is South Indian and father Jamaican, won the support of Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and leading members of California's congressional delegation and State Legislature.

Kamala is known to be a favorite of President Barack Obama .

Meanwhile  Harris said ''I always start my campaigns early, and I run hard,'' she told the New York Times, which ran a profile of her campaign this week. ''Maybe it comes from the rough-and-tumble world of San Francisco politics, where it's not even a contact sport -- it's a blood sport. This is how I am as a candidate. This is how I run campaigns.''
