The 32-year-old Singh is the first person of Indian origin in the US to be appointed the press secretary to a vice-presidential nominee. She has earlier worked as spokesperson with two Democratic presidential candidates -- New Jersey Senator Cory Booker and former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg. Singh has reportedly also served as the spokesperson of the Democratic National Committee.
Speaking on the development, Singh took to the Twitter saying: 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!
Sabrina Singh, a resident of Los Angeles, is the grand-daughter 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.
It is certainly another proud moment for Indians to witness another Indian origin member going strong in the US presidential elections which he expected to be held in November this year.
Last week, Democratic Party presidential nominee Joe Biden had appointed Kamala Devi Harris, the Indian-origin senator, as his vice-presidential running mate.

Joe Biden made the announcement in a tweet, about a week ahead of his virtual Democratic National Convention, that would formally nominate him as the party's candidate for the November 3 presidential elections.
Joe Biden roping in Kamala Harris, and now Harris picking Singh ahead of the elections can be considered as final stroke to win confidence of the Indian-American community, as it is a historic move that marks a breakthrough for Indian Americans in US politics.
