“I have the great honour 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 tweeted. In a text message to supporters,Harris and Biden plan to deliver remarks Wednesday in Wilmington.
Harris' record as California attorney general and district attorney in San Francisco was heavily scrutinized during the Democratic primary and turned off some liberals and younger Black voters who saw her as out of step on issues of systemic racism in the legal system and police brutality. She tried to strike a balance on these issues, declaring herself a “progressive prosecutor” who backs law enforcement reforms.
A woman has never served as president or vice-president in the United States. Two women have been nominated as running mates on major party tickets: Democrat Geraldine Ferraro in 1984 and Republican Sarah Palin in 2008. Their party lost in the general election. As her national profile grew, Harris built a reputation around her work as a prosecutor. After being elected to the Senate in 2016, she quickly gained attention for her assertive questioning of Trump administration officials during congressional hearings. In one memorable moment last year, Harris tripped up Attorney General William Barr when she repeatedly pressed him on whether Trump or other White House officials pressured him to investigate certain people.
How about talking about the Political Crime of the Century? It seems MSM missed this train that covers TREASON!! 'Obama Campaign spied on our campaign, and they've been caught....red handed...' 'TREASON' Trump named names! 💥💥 A lot of them!😳
Bye Drumpf
If CTV cares so much about black women why have they been ignoring Leslyn Lewis?
TRUMP 2020
Imagine liberals picking someone because of the colour of their skin but then again that is the liberal way
The real story is that Biden fails to select an African American.
CTV: 'making history by selecting the first Black woman' This highlights how disingenuous the Liberal oragnized crime family CBCNews, and GlobalNews are. As they all virtue signal this American visible minority, they've been ignoring this Canadian one for months 👇
Indian? Native American or a person who was born in India and is now an American citizen.
Jussie Jussie Jussie
Part Irish and East Indian too.
first Black woman ? hardly
I just want to congratulate SenKamalaHarris KamalaHarris on her being appointed as Madame Vice President by soon-to-be President JoeBiden on their democratic ticket. Wish you both the best of luck and can't wait until you both beat realDonaldTrump hilariously this election.🤞
Great choice! firstfemaleVP KamalaHarrisForVP
Helping make Biden ear whispering great again
TheSocialCTV Joe chooses a dip stick
Guess she'll recuse her calling Biden a racist and segregationist. Anything for power even to be a hypocrate.
Awesome ✌🏼
TRUMP 2020
Disgusting
🤡😂😂💩
Wrong choice!
awesome
Heels up!!!
Not popular as presidential candidate. 2-3% of vote.
StephTsicosCTV Good choice and rice sec of state
Totally awesome!
Well it’s confirmed, another landline for Trump! 2020 someone should tell Joe who he picked 😂
Curious about what percentage of her genes are actually African.
BREAKING: Actually it was JoeBiden's campaign that told supporters in a text message that Senator Kamala Harris of California has been tapped as his running mate. We do not yet know if the campaign has told Joe.
She is going to destroy Pence in every debate...
Well that is the right pick
She locked up blacks for years for petty crimes, then wouldn't release them when their sentences were done because she needed them for the prisoner jobs program. All you Biden clowns on here, it is going to be a landslide for Trump. Democrats are done.
😂 Lol - what a terrible pick - TulsiGabbard tore her to shreds in ten minutes. She is from California, which is in the bag anyway, and she isn't even black - her Mom is Indian. Not to mention the WillieBrown baggage. 😂😂😂 Trump2020
The racists and sexists who masquerade as progressives will be happy.
TheSocialCTV Great choice , I hope he surrounds himself with some of those other ladies ... can’t go wrong !!
Wasn’t she the one that Tulsi destroyed in the debates?
YAY!!
Ek
CTVToronto
Amazing!
CTVToronto THE DEMOCRACKHEADS ARE MAKING IT SOOOOO EASY COME NOV. 4TH LMAO 🤣👍🇨🇦🇺🇸🍕🍕🍕🍕 PIZZAGAAAAATE !!!
Congratulations to Donald Trump on his re-election.
She must have smelt the best
Awesome. Now get it done. Oust 45
Interesting.....
Tulsi Gabbard destroyed her in the primaries, she never recovered politically.
Lots of respect for Joe. He picked the person that rattled him the most in the debates. Clearly he’s all in for strong women 👏👏👏🙌 amazing!
And just like that, he handed Trump back the keys to the White House. She will repel more voters than she attracts; that's what happened to Hillary. She pretty much blew it with that 'I was that girl' T-shirt debacle. And to think Democrats accuse Trump of race-baiting.
Good. Warren inches ever closer to Treasury Secretary.
AnnieClaireBO I can’t wait to see her shapeshift again!
Does Joe know?
She accused Biden of being a racist. She also slept with a married man... to move up
Has anybody told Joe yet?
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Identity politics. Whatever happened to picking someone based on merit rather than gender?
Great pick, Joe......👏👏🙏🇨🇦❤️
nooooooooooo why not Obama?!!! :((((((((((((((((((((((((((
Did anyone tell him yet? 🤣🤣
Didnt Kamala call joe Racist? awkward !
