Biden picks Kamala Harris as running mate
Harris winning the bid for vice presidential candidacy capped a long process of which the result was previously expected in the first week of August.
Biden, who has promised to name a female running mate, postponed the announcement as the contest became increasingly more fluid than observers had thought, with Suzan Rice, former national security adviser in the administration of former president Barack Obama, and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer seemingly gaining momentum in the final days leading up to the announcement.
Those who vied for the post with Harris quickly reacted to Biden’s decision and supported his pick.
Rice said
Harris “is a tenacious and trailblazing leader.”
Whitmer said she was “extraordinarily proud to support” Harris and Biden. Elizabeth Warren, once a Democratic presidential candidate on the progressive camp who endorsed Biden after dropping out, tweeted that Harris “will be a great partner to @JoeBiden in making our government a powerful force for good in the fight for social, racial, and economic justice.”
Other prominent Democrats also voiced their support for Harris. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the senator “will continue her legacy of trailblazing leadership to move our nation forward.” Obama said Harris “is more than prepared for the job.” Former President Bill Clinton said she and Biden “make a strong team.” Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, called on supporters to join her in getting Harris elected.
In his first public comment during a news briefing at the White House on Tuesday afternoon, President Donald Trump said
Harris was “my number one draft pick, and we’ll see how she works out.”
He said Harris “was extraordinarily nasty to Judge (Brett) Kavanaugh” — the Trump-appointed Supreme Court justice who was alleged of sexual misconduct — during Senate hearings, adding that “she did very poorly in the primaries and now she’s chosen so let’s see how that all works out.”
Hours earlier, Trump campaign senior adviser Katrina Pierson in a statement accused Harris of attempting to “bury her record as a prosecutor, in order to appease the anti-police extremists,” meanwhile claiming that the selection of Harris “is proof that Joe Biden is an empty shell being filled with the extreme agenda of the radicals on the left.”

Is it any wonder America is a dying empire on the verge of civil war?
When a nation loses control of its borders, and is politically and morally bankrupt soon that empire dies. America is on life support right now. It is over as a nation. Good Riddance.
My comments and unequivocal position and opinions, relating to the abyss and reasons for, that the United States of America, is catapulting into, have been written on numerous occasions.
The Great Depression – the effects of the 1930’s on the USA – and it must not be forgotten, history tells it clearly, that America, took some 15 years longer, to get over the global catastrophic global disasters, caused by the Great Depression.
America, they have destined – there choice – the course that they are clearly on, and end result will see America, a shadow of it’s once all powerful and mighty global position.
America – 331,000 million of them – it’s YOUR ERROR.
Can Joe and Kamala – put the brakes on the demise of America ?
I have grave reservations or Doubt.
Joe has to defeat, the infamous 45th elected President of the United States – Donald. J. Trump – to move into the White House, and between present time and November, what “vaudeville” theatre presentations there will be on show, coming out of America.
America is a Humanitarian Disaster.
America is a Shambles.
America is paying for it’s ERROR.
Stay Well -ALL.
As an American right now living in Budapest, I can confirm that a woman with an Indian mother and a Jamaican father is not African – American. An African – American shares the commonality of racial discrimination and the history of slavery.
Harris’ father wrote that his family owned over 200 black slaves and and unknown number of white slaves, indentured servants, they imported to a Jamaica plantation from Ireland. The Harris Family were one of Jamaica’s major slaveholders.
There in fact had been race discrimination in the United States ongoing for a half century under the guide of Affirmative Action and the War on Poverty. The discrimination was aimed primarily against white men and women, Asians of Chinese origin, and the Jewish People, in order to advance African – Americans and Hispanics in preferential treatment in government, civil service jobs, higher education, police, firemen, and the military. These policies destroyed the hope and legacy and the quality of life of the people so targeted.
