Biden announces Harris as his running partner, Trump: Harris is disgusting

  [Global Times reporter Lin Ri Chenxin] U.S. Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Biden made the most important decision in the campaign. On the 11th local time, he announced that the 55-year-old U.S. Senator Kamala Harris was his running partner. US media commented that this was a “historical and safe” decision: As a descendant of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, Harris was the first African-American woman and Indian vice presidential candidate elected by a major political party. If Biden wins the election in November, she will become the first female vice president of the United States. For American society, which is currently reflecting on the issue of racism, Biden's choice is very appropriate. The Democrats all claimed to praise Harris, while the Republicans were unwilling to waste a little time and immediately rallied to attack her, labeling her "radical liberals" and other labels. Trump used his favorite vocabulary for attacking female opponents. One to evaluate Harris: disgusting. The four protagonists of the US general election have all appeared on the stage. In the next 80 days, they will be arguing about a series of domestic and foreign policies. Among them, China is a topic that cannot be avoided. In order to distract attention from his inability to fight the epidemic, Trump has always targeted China, and international media have become accustomed to this. On the 11th, he made another startling statement: "If I lose, all Americans will learn Chinese." Regarding the deterioration of Sino-US relations in the context of the general election, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng said in an interview with the media on the 11th that we must not only look at the immediate future, but also look at the long-term, step out of the current electoral politics, out of emotional thinking, and return to rationality and pragmatism.

  On the 11th local time, US Democratic presidential candidate Biden announced that his running partner was Senator Kamala Harris. The picture shows the data when the two attended the election rally in March this year.

  Republicans are on fire

  On the 11th local time, Biden announced on social media that Harris had become his running partner and praised her as "a fearless warrior who fought for small people and one of the best public officials in this country." One". In an email sent to supporters, Biden called this decision "big news" and said, "With you, we will defeat Trump." Harris immediately expressed his "honour" and affirmed Biden's efforts to unite the American public.

  "The New York Times" stated that Harris' personal experience has inspired Democrats. Even in the melting pot of politically diverse California, she is still different. Her mother is Indian-American, her father is from Jamaica, and she grew up in Oakland and Berkeley, California. In 2010, Harris became the first woman in California and the first African-American attorney general; in 2016, she was elected to the U.S. Senate, becoming the first Indian and second African-American female senator in the United States. Before her, there were only two female vice presidential candidates from major political parties, including Ferraro, elected by the Democratic Party in 1984, and Palin, elected by the Republican Party in 2008. After Harris withdrew from the primary election last year, many Democrats believed that she would definitely target the White House again in the future.

  Former U.S. President's National Security Affairs Assistant Susan Rice said on the 11th that Harris is a "stubborn and pioneering leader" and praised her as a "great partner" in the campaign. "I believe that Biden Harris will It will be a successful vote." Democratic congresswoman Demings said that seeing African-American women on the ballot for the first time, "reaffirmed my belief: in the United States, there is always a place where everyone can succeed, no matter who they are and where they come from."

  The Democrats expressed their support for Harris on the united front, while the Republicans’ attack came quickly and fiercely. According to a report by the US "Capitol Hill" on the 11th, the House of Representatives Minority Leader McCarthy said on the same day that Harris used power to achieve political purposes during her tenure as the San Francisco attorney and California attorney general. Her targets were conservative non-profit organizations and energy. Companies, not members of violent gangs or illegal immigrant criminals, "now she wants to turn America into San Francisco." The US "Wall Street Journal" stated that Harris had often not prosecuted police officers for excessive use of force before causing controversy, and she also did not support legislation requiring police to wear law enforcement recorders.

  The "Capitol Hill" said McCarthy blatantly attacked Biden's age, calling Harris a "de facto" presidential candidate. Trump's eldest son also said that she will be the "shadow president" in the Biden administration. The British Broadcasting Corporation and other foreign media believe that Biden's choice of running partner means a bit of "selecting the reserve". If he wins the election, he will become the oldest president in the history of the United States at the age of 78. Few people think that he will seek a second term. At that time, the important task of competing for the 2024 general election will be placed on the vice president.

  After the news that Harris became Biden’s deputy was announced, Trump immediately fired up. In the video released by him, his campaign described Harris as a radical leftist, calling her a "liar." The New York Times said that at a later press conference, Trump attacked Harris as "the despicable, most terrifying, and most disrespectful person in the Senate", saying that she was "very disrespectful to Biden" during the primary election. ", four times used "disgusting" to evaluate Harris.

 Biden's "finishing touch"?

  According to the average poll data collected by the US RealClear Politics website, Biden currently leads Trump by approximately 7% in the United States. Some analysts believe that as a pragmatic moderate, Harris is a reliable ally of those in power in the Democratic Party, and his flexible policy tendencies are largely consistent with Biden's. Her supporters believe that Biden can increase the attractiveness of African American and female voters.

  "Harris represents the future, so Pence is likely to become history." The New York Times column on the 12th stated that Harris is younger and more energetic than Pence, whose cheeks are as pale as her hair and a stiff smile. It represents the United States that is heading towards equality intermittently. During the campaign, Biden defined himself as the opposite of Trump-he was Trump's antidote to how to view and value the United States. The choice of campaign deputy is the finishing touch, and Harris highlights the difference between Trump's divisive politics and Biden's inclusive politics.

  "Washington Post" said Harris is more active and active in the campaign, but sometimes his performance is not stable. Moreover, how much she can help Biden and the Democratic Party on the election map is still unknown. She has never received strong support in racially diverse states such as South Carolina and Nevada.

  Many political observers believe that the relationship between Harris and Biden is worrying, which is also an aspect of attack by Republicans. In the primary election debate last year, Harris criticized Biden for opposing the promotion of racial integration in public schools through the "school bus policy". The New York Times stated that it was probably the most powerful and memorable attack scene in the entire primary election. She said at the time that hearing Biden actively talk about working with senators who advocate segregation felt very "hurt," because "There is a little girl in California. She is the second batch of students in a racially integrated public school and takes the school bus every day. Going to school, that little girl is me". According to the report, Harris' attacks during the debate stage caused some of Biden's consultants to generate "lingering" resentment, which remained the same until a few weeks ago.

  Perhaps to downplay related suspicions, Biden’s campaign team released a document on Harris on the 11th, which included a “partnership” between the two, emphasizing that during Harris’s tenure as California’s attorney general, Biden had already The deceased son, Bo Biden, was the attorney general of Delaware, and the two “got close” during negotiations with the bank after the financial crisis.

  The next few months will be critical to Sino-US relations

  In this year's general election, both Trump and Biden frequently used the "Chinese card" to attack each other, and Harris' statements about China have received attention. "Voice of America" ​​summarized on the 12th that in August 2018, she wrote to U.S. Trade Representative Lighthizer, agreeing with the Trump administration’s findings that China had adopted unfair industrial policies, but criticized China’s consumer electronics products. Increased tariffs will cause harm to the United States; in October last year, she announced support for the "Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019"; in the primary election stage, Harris had stated that he would cooperate with China on global issues such as climate, but would also Put pressure on human rights issues.

  On the 11th, Trump was still competing with Biden for a tougher position on China. "If I don't win the election, China will occupy the United States, and you all have to learn Chinese." Trump's remarks in an interview caused a lot of resentment among American netizens on social media. Some people think that his words are obviously racist, and netizens deliberately turned out news reports that Trump's granddaughter and grandson were learning Chinese the year before. The US Business Insider website stated that on the 11th, Biden’s campaign director Andrew Bates criticized Trump for making excuses for his inaction in the worst public crisis in a century, and created a power vacuum in the world for China to fill. Got it.

  The Wall Street Journal said on the 12th that dealing with the rapidly deteriorating Sino-US relations is the most important issue facing the United States and the world in the next few years, but as of now, Biden is only talking about it in general terms. As a presidential candidate, Biden needs to give concrete solutions to issues such as tariffs on China, the "Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement," Hong Kong and Xinjiang.

  CNN said on the 11th that Trump’s own statements about China are still focused on accusing Beijing of failing to contain the spread of the epidemic because this has affected his re-election prospects. He mentioned in the interview that day that since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, he has not spoken with Chinese leaders for a long time. In this regard, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said on the 12th that the virus should not be labelled or politicized, and that “should throw the pot and blame on China for not driving away the virus or saving patients”.

  "Some American politicians have two major characteristics in their behavior. One is to lie and open their mouths, and the other is to break the law." In an interview with the media on the 11th, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng criticized the U.S. for slandering and smearing China. If their political lies are compiled into a book, it will be a good negative teaching material for the whole world." Regarding Sino-US relations, he emphasized: "The next few months are very critical. We must maintain our strength, not be swayed by various extremist forces, and firmly grasp the correct direction of the relationship between the two countries to ensure that it does not lose control or derail."
