US elections: Joe Biden picks Kamala Harris to be his VP candidate
2020-08-11 | Since 5 Month
US presidential candidate Joe Biden announced Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate, making her the first Black woman on a major political party's ticket.
The Biden campaign's website quickly posted a picture of the former VP and Harris side by side, and article titled, "TOGETHER WE WILL BEAT DONALD TRUMP."
I have the great honor to announce that I’ve picked @KamalaHarris — a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country’s finest public servants — as my running mate.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) August 11, 2020
Harris hails from longtime Democratic-run California. The move shows that Biden has put behind Harris’ heavy attacks against him during previous public debates.
She is also the first Black woman to be elected as California Attorney General and the first Black woman to represent California in the Senate.
