Singh was previously the spokeswoman of two Democratic presidential candidates – New Jersey Senator Cory Booker and former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg.

Presumptive Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden had last week picked Indian-origin Harris as his running mate.

"I'm so excited to join the #BidenHarris ticket as Press Secretary for @KamalaHarris! Can't wait to get to work and win in November!," tweeted Singh. She is the first-ever Indian-American press secretary to a vice-presidential nominee of a major political party.

Singh is the granddaughter of Sardar JJ Singh of the India League of America, a non-profit organisation which champions the interests of Indian-American community in the US.
