Joe Biden Chooses Senator Kamala Harris As His Presidential Running Mate

Joe Biden has chosen California Senator Kamala Harris as his Presidential running mate. The former vice president shared the news on social media.

 

The decision comes more than a year after Harris, who was also a 2020 Democratic candidate, clashed with Biden over racial issues during the first primary debate. If elected, she would be the nation’s first female, first Black and first Asian American vice president.

Picking Harris, who is 55, provides the ticket with some generational diversity. Biden, 77, would be the oldest president-elect in U.S. history.

Biden just recently updated his website with a photo of him and Harris and a caption above saying, “Together we will beat Donald Trump.”
