US Senator KamalaHarris argues that Trump isn't 'up to the job'

— Sen. Kamala Harris laid out the Democratic case against US President Donald Trump in her first speech as Joe Biden's running mate Wednesday, arguing that Trump isn't"up to the job."

"He inherited the longest economic expansion in history from Barack Obama and Joe Biden. And then, like everything else he inherited, he ran it straight into the ground," she said of Trump. "I learned quickly that Beau was the kind of guy who inspires people to be a better version of themselves. He really was the best of us. And I would ask him, where'd you get that, where'd this come from, he'd always talk about his dad," she said."The love that they shared was incredible to watch. It was the most beautiful display between a father and a son."

Biden began his speech in Wilmington by thanking other women his campaign vetted for the vice presidential pick, before he chose Harris -- the daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants -- on Tuesday. "Is anyone surprised Donald Trump has a problem with a strong woman, or strong women across the board?" Biden said.

It's not yet clear whether they'll be able to continue to campaign together, with the coronavirus pandemic limiting Biden's ability to hold events since mid-March.
