US Poll: Democrat’s Biden Picks Kamala Harris As Running Mate

Joe Biden has named California Senator, Kamala Harris as his vice-presidential running mate, a historic choice he believes will bolster his chances of beating Donald Trump in an election year shaped by the global coronavirus pandemic and a national reckoning on race.

Harris, a barrier-breaking former prosecutor, is the daughter of immigrants from Jamaica and India and is the first Black woman and the first Asian American to run on a major party ticket.

“I have the great honor to announce that I’ve picked @KamalaHarris — a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country’s finest public servants — as my running mate,” Biden announced on Twitter.
