Joe Biden picked California Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate in the 2020 presidential elections.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Biden, 77, said, “You make a lot of important decisions as president. But the first one is who you select to be your Vice President. I’ve decided that Kamala Harris is the best person to help me take this fight to Donald Trump and Mike Pence and then to lead this nation starting in January 2021,” Biden wrote in an email from his campaign to supporters.
The unpopular 55-year-old mixed race senator becomes the third woman to run as a presidential running mate.
Susan Rice, another close contender, tweeted: “My warmest congratulations to ?@KamalaHarris . I am confident Biden-Harris will prove to be a winning ticket. I will do my utmost to help them win and govern.”
Politico.com accidentally let the cat out of the bag in July when it leaked Harris would be Joe Biden’s choice for his vice president.
The Internet’s response to Biden’s pick was mixed. Many Blacks were relieved when Harris dropped out of the presidential race because of her tough-on-crime stance in California.
Lol. This just confirms a Trump landslide. #Trump2020

Kamala is a perfect VP: someone you were told you were excited for but had to drop out of the primary before voting even began due to lack of interest, but not before morally castigating the guy who picked her and then backtracking

Justifying Kamala Harris being a good VP pick even though she sent so many black men to jail for no reason is super fucking problematic coming from a white little girl

A black woman who incarcerated an enormous amount of her own people for 'crimes' such as drug possession which have no real victim and are unworthy of a prison sentence.

I like Kamala Harris but only Joe Biden could be tone deaf enough to choose a cop as his running mate right now
