Noting Ms Harris’ friendship with his son Beau, who died in 2015 from brain cancer, he said he had “enormous respect for her and her work. I thought a lot about that as I made this decision. There is no one’s opinion I valued more than Beau’s and I’m proud to have Kamala standing with me on this campaign.”
She campaigned for much of 2019 to become the party’s presidential nominee, finally dropping out of the race last December having failed to capitalise on the early enthusiasm around her campaign. She was first elected to the US Senate in 2017.

The White House complex was put on lockdown as the incident unfolded.
