Biden chooses black woman Harris as running mate, two will be formally nominated next week
Overseas Network, August 12th. Biden, the former US vice president and Democratic presidential candidate, stated that his running partner was identified as Kamala Harris. Biden and Harris will formally accept the nomination during the Democratic National Convention next week. Due to the new coronavirus pandemic, the nomination will be made through videos from all over the world.
According to reports, Kamala Harris is a California senator. She will become the first black woman to run as a partner in a major political party's presidential candidate. Harris is a descendant of immigrants with a multi-ethnic background, and her allies believe that she can complement each other with Biden and others. For a long time, Harris has been regarded as the most likely choice because of his extensive experience as a U.S. Senator, former California Attorney General and former San Francisco District Attorney. In addition, she has also worked on criminal justice reform, improving health care for black Americans, and solving income inequality. The outside world regards her joining the Biden team as a symbol of changing the United States.
According to an earlier report by “USA Today”, Biden said at the end of July that he would make a choice in August and promised to choose a woman, which has also been the focus of the media. Popular candidates previously given by the media include California Senator Harris, Atlanta Mayor Boltons, Florida Rep. Demins, California Rep. Bath, former National Security Adviser Rice, and Illinois Senator Da Kworth, New Mexico Governor Grism and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, etc.
Biden was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and served as Vice President during the Obama administration from 2009 to 2017. Prior to this, Biden served as a Delaware Senator for 36 years and was the chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee. On April 25, 2019, he announced his candidacy for the next president.
