Biden and Harris embrace after she endorsed and introduced him at a March 9 campaign rally in Detroit.Biden and Harris embrace after she endorsed and introduced him at a March 9 campaign rally in Detroit.Ahead of the running mate selection, several Biden allies and donors warned in the press that the debate attack was too personal, and too harsh, for Harris to serve as Biden's vice president.saying former Sen.
She was a prosecutor in the Alameda County and San Francisco district attorney's offices before running for San Francisco district attorney in 2003. She went on to win election as California attorney general in 2010. The high-profile hearings that each committee held quickly helped Harris develop a national reputation as a sharp, aggressive questioner who could unnerve opposing witnesses. She generated headlines and energized progressives across the country with her questioning of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Attorney General William Barr and, most notably, Kavanaugh.
asmamk A time for reconciliation.
asmamk She’s a fool. He and others of the Democratic Party have proven many times that they are racist. They are doing what they have to now to win votes! I wouldn’t be taking it lightly! They don’t care about you!
asmamk I listened to npr today as some ill informed idiot called Harris the first woman to run for Vice President. Geraldine Ferraro. Look it up. Seriously, what the fuck kind of sloppy bullshit is this. I expected more from npr.

She’s 50% Indian, 25% White, and 25% Black, but what does the headline say? 🙄
She’s not African American
Fix the heritage terms: slang term “blasian” black from Jamaica & Asian from India.
She’s not African Americans!
I love this damn blazer
When is November. Can we advance? We ain’t doing much this year with the covid. Let’s use this time wisely and have elections very soon.
........ Obama won in 08. How is this in any way more significant?
Npr published fake news again
She has bankrupt CA, she is going to bankrupt US and turn it into South Africa.
Historic how, exactly? A loser ho?
Some sigh of relief to have an intelligent public official & kudos to Biden for picking someone that wasn’t afraid to challenge him. Shows that Biden isn’t afraid to lead by having a team of strong minded people.
A major party?! Lmao 1 of 2. AngelaNWalker was nominated by the green party, months ago.
Indian Jamaican.
KamalaHarrisVp All I remember is that she was Californias top cop and she locked up blacks with no pity
She's what about 20% black Joe pick a real black woman 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Big mistake
Uh... she’s Jamaican and Indian ancestors. Slave owner histor-not slave history. Not black American. Culture appropriating fake!
Oh she's African American now
lenny_miller The first Biracial nominated for VP. Get it right. But that’s irrelevant. Her failure as Attorney General will be key.
This is the song that never ends.. yes it goes on an on my friends.. some people.. staaarted singing it not knowing what it was, but they’ll continue singing it forever just because... this is the song that never ends.
NO!
How’s that BOOT taste. 🤣🤣🤣
Fake news! Fake news! Fake news! Kamala Harris is Jamaican and East Indian...NOT African American. She ain't black 🤣😂🤣😂
If her mother emigrated from India & her father emigrated from Jamaica, how can she be an African American?
She’s not African American! She’s Asian American...
Kamalas parents hail from India and Jamaica. Is it accurate to describe her has African American?
LOL 🤮🤮🤮
*Black American Woman
I think he needs her more than she needs him.
And Asian American..
Factually inaccurate setup comment ... better as “Kamala Harris was Nominated. Where are her parents from? This is great news either way, but if you’re gonna play the identities, get them correct and carry on. 😊
She’s NOT African American.....
Lmao Joe and the Democrats want to lose really bad.
She called Biden a racist, and she was right.
except she's not african american
Let’s go get ‘em, team!
She is not African American.
The votes of black women have carried this party and with this pick WE ARE FINALLY SEEN!! THIS IS HISTORIC! Go argue with ur Mom!
WHAT A JOKE! Is this way he thinks he can win! NOT A CHANCE, Biden and Harris! Both are a DISGRACE!
Didn’t know Jamaica and India were in Africa
Will joe leave the basement now?
NPR she’s not African American.
Not true ... according to science and Darwin evolution, we all come from Africa, and thus this 'African American' first-ever has already achieved.
Right on 👏🏼 lifetimeline
...Guess the woke Dems r ok with a lib left black woman sleepin her way to the top... Thanks Willie...and your suffering wife..
Oh good for Harris.
Okay, I'm just trying to keep up, so its more acceptable to say African American rather than black or negro.
Not AA. She's Indian Jamaican...
She’s very cringe
She's not African American. Secondly third parties nominated African Americans all the time. The VP for the Green party is an African American woman.
Born in Oakland to a Jamaican father and Indian mother, Kamala Harris won her first election in 2003 when she became San Francisco’s district attorney. She was elected California’s attorney general in 2010, the first woman and Black person to hold the job.
Can't wait for competent leadership!
She's Mixed, two different races.
Loooooser
BlackGirlsRock blackgirlmagic
She is not African American. She is Indian Jamaican. This is an insult to Indians, Jamaicans and African Americans,
Wow that should complete your life huh Tom! You must feel so full now.....Your cup over floweth. Kamala
A woman who is ashamed of calling herself a half indian and converts herself into full black to fit into the American culture does not deserve my vote. Kamala Harris is not black by any means. She is Jamaican and Indian. I would respect her if she calls her that and not black.
SenKamalaHarris ! We need comprehensive national policy to address systemic racism. Don't sit this out, & be complicit. Do something. Stop systemicracism. Sign the petition to form a US Truth and Reconciliation Commission USTRC TRHT
Excellent!!!
I’m a supporter!
She doesn’t identify as Black
Half Indian and half Jamaican does not equal African-American lol. African-Americans are the people/ethnic group, that descended from the Africans who were enslaved in what is now the United States from 1619-1865.
Harris was Perez's little darling pick from day one of primary. Disgruntled donors should petition to sue the DNC for fraud and continue until we win.
Did you know she used to own three horses? I stole them!
She's mixed raced. When they elect a dark African American in office, then I'll believe change is on the horizon.
so what! so racist of you to point that out. what's her philosophy of governing? what's her character? what has she done with her life?
or Jamaican/Indian
She ain’t no damn african American
I can’t believe people are ALREADY dropping their heads talking about, “Well, that’s 4 more years of Trump.” So what you’re REALLY saying is, “Here’s my excuse to not get off my ass and go vote.”
Solid pick. Smart, accomplished professional, natural leader and well-qualified for the role.
Too bad Democrat voters picked a straight old white male Christian for the top spot.
And indian American
Biden smelling Hairris
The Democrats should begin their search for suscessors for 2024. Neither Biden or Harris will survive beyond 4 years in office. They are however, the only alternative to the corruption and disfunction of the GOP!
Excited, energized!
When it comes to delegates support, was she the best pick?
Didn't she call her future boss a racist a few months ago?
Joe Biden Hates the Environment. Vote Trump. This has nothing to do with politics natureisabitch
Too excited! Feel as though it’s the first time I can draw a breath since election night 2016!
Am I the only one who is going to point out that Kamala Harris has a mother from India and a father from Jamaica?
Kamala isn’t African American. She’s Jamaican & Indian American
Best first decision 👍🙏✌️💖
Not the brightest bulb but compared to Joe....
First piece on news that has made me smile in I don't know how long.
I'd expect better accuracy from NPR.
She isn't African-American. Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, emigrated from India and her father, Donald Harris emigrated from Jamaica in 1961.
Ummmm... why?
VP Mikey you’re gonna have to get permission from “mother” to go to the debate now.. Do you think she’ll let you?
She's not African American. I don't understand how an Indian and Jamaican = African American
What happened, I was expecting Benghazi queen 👸 to be picked
Why is it that as a woman whose mother was Indian is defined by and many other media outlets as being only African American? She is also the first Indian-American to be nominated as a VP by a major party as well. IndiaNotForSale
and she ISNT AFRICAN AMERICAN
She is not African-American. Neither is Obama. And they will not do anything for African-Americans because they are in cosplay, riding off another group's legacy.
jmstaats116 I thought she was Indian-American?
And the first Asian.
Stop calling KH African American. She is something else.
I thought she was Jamaican and Indian?
Kamala Harris is not black, she said she was Indian American when she ran for office.
She is NOT AA, she is Indian- Jamaican.
Lol so now we should vote for him because he picked a good minority as his running mate never mind that Blacks aren't diverse he just said that 🤣 I'd respect him more if he just said he needed our vote to beat Trump stop the farce we're not THAT dumb...I hope
She is not African American. She is half Jamaican and half Indian American.
Dementia meets insanity lol
So if the Dem's win it will be= Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi! They will be the ones to call for Bidens Mental cognitive test on day one. Sorry Joe but they fooled you! Come on man!!
Sad to see NPR of all news outlets put this as a byline. Last time I checked Kamala was also 50% South Asian. I guess that part doesn't matter for agenda purposes.
And that says it all...
Lol not black not Indian BrownToast
Her mother is Eastern Indian & her father is Jamaican. She self-identifies as an 'African-American.' Perhaps, because black Jamaicans are originally from Africa, years ago when Jamaica was created. African dregs of society & the imprisoned were sent to Jamaica. A-A is not a race.
What's not to love? Catholics don't vote Demon-crat CultureOfDeath
He lost my vote
It was obvious to me that both warren and Biden promised her VP position. I hoped I was wrong I don’t like her one bit .
Shes Jamacian/Indian American. No ties to FBA. Yall better present her correctly.
To be honest, there is no candidate with a clean record aside from Bernie. But we all know what happened with that. Given that in this election we are “settling” for the lesser evil, Kamala is not the worst choice. She might even help Biden win.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼WELL DONE! VoteBlue
Shes 1/2 Top Caste Brahman Indian and 1/2 Jamaican Slave Trading Lineage. Cut the nonsense.
don't be racist - she's also half Indian American
STOP WITH THE REFERENCE TO COLOR. IS SHE SMART? IS SHE QUALIFIED? WILL SHE ROCK OUR COUNTRY? THAT IS ALL I NEED TO KNOW
American Priorities. More options for fast food than political parties. Anita Hill was the only VP choice.
She isn’t “African American”....she is “Indian American”
Biden should've pick Susan Rice for VP, Kamala Harris for Secretary of State, Stacie Abrams for Attorney General, Elizabeth Warren for Treasury Secretary. But I guess this pick will work, but Harris better not start being a police person, n she's not really blk.
I thought Harris was part Jamaican/Indian?
Has anyone told Biden who was picked for him as his VP candidate
Kamala Harris is NOT African American. Where have all NPR's editors gone
I'm off for a woman I'm all for a woman of color but I'm not for this woman of color
ISN'T KAMALA THE ONE WHO SAID BIDEN WAS A RACIST ? HAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣 YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP !! LMFAO 🤣 CONGRATULATIONS PRESIDENT TRUMP ON ANOTHER 4 YEARS !! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 TRUMP 2020 🇺🇸
I thought she was Indian and Jamaican?
JoeBiden helped write the book on our unfair criminal justice system, and KamalaHarris helped lock people (sometimes innocent) away in it. If you don't see the hypocrisy in that, you're insane.
Oh!! I thought she was of Jamaican and Indian decent... good to know
SarahPalin 2.0 with a tinge of brown has been nominated. Purpose = to take the political fall for another incompetent OLD WHITE MAN.
wgbh empty windbag KamalaHarris is the pick? Man HidinBiden really is demented
realDonaldTrump the new campaign music has been chosen. Running Scared
👎
What a disappointment. She is not liked in California. She wasn’t a good DA, and a poor senator. Worst thing is, she is not even a true African American.
Kamala aligns herself with a segregationalist. Wow!
Amazing
Seriously? She hated everything Biden stood for and backed the sexual harassment accusations made against him. Now, she’s going to “swallow” all that for this? Remember folks, this will be Biden’s stand-in when he is determined to be incompetent, if ever elected. No thank you!!
LET’S GO!!!!
We could've had Bernie/Tulsi 2020. Thank you, DNC for ruining another election cycle!
Kamala Harris is not African American
Well.. who didn't see that one, being played out.😁
Jamaican Indian American?
Congrats to 'Heels Up' Harris. Hope to hear more fables about listening to rap music and other lies to seem less disgusting to the people
She’s not of African descent
'Kampala Harris' is trending right now! 😄😆 People will never be able to get her name right!
Technically she’s Jamaican-Indian, but whatever...
You can tell this is the exact right pick when all the bernie bots start whining.
Good riddance, now that that’s over
jeez louise
Choosing someone based on her gender and race is just as bad and wrong as not choosing someone based on her gender and race.
Of course he picked the cop LMAOOOOO
Yay! Its Top Cop!! What a joke.
Wow, lots of haters and/or bots on today. 🙄
I fucking called it!!!!! Texas will be blue!
First African American and Indian American**
The economy is in the toilet and will probably still be in a rough shape come 2021. Why not pick Elizabeth Warren for this reason alone?
You know what I'm just going to say it. I'm not crazy about a former tough on crime Attorney General and a Senator who voted to escalate the war on drugs running together.
She will be the first Mulatto nominated for VP by a major party. Correction completed!
Yes!!!
VP and don’t forget..
She’s not African American.
She is not African American
Makes sense. Biden's 1994 crime bill coupled with Harris' record of filling prisons. Perfect match.
Who cares ! They aren’t going to win anyway. Dont put your energy into these 2!
senamisomoyo I saw this coming. But for a time he seemed to be swinging towards Elizabeth
Shoulda picked Warren
Only problem is she's not African American
Here comes the ignorant hate, misogyny, & bigotry in 3...2...
Kamala is the right choice. 💯
Shes really going to excite black voters this time! Unlike months ago when she was ignored or laughed at.
Hmmmm... when did a half Indian, half Jamaican become an African American?
She’s JAMAICAN AND SOUTH ASIAN AMERICAN (mum from India) shame on you NPR for tiger woodsing her
wooo hoo!! this song is for her!
Waiting for Trumpers to pick Ms. Harris apart thinking that it’s worse than what Trump’s done or said.
Racial quota filled. Declare mission accomplished and go home.
So Pelosi becomes your vice president if this woman is elected! (Joe wont make it first term)
And possibly the president for term 2. 😉😉So many tears being shed over this announcement that my cup overfloweth.....
How she can work with whom she even knows is a racist shows you how evil their ideology is.
She s not black. Her parents are from India and Jamaica- NOT BLACK!
Wow.
Apparently, people are not voting for Joe. That’s saying something.
KasimReed Amen!
Congratulations, Senator!
Harris is NOT 'African American' no matter how much you wish she was. She's Indian and Jamaican.
We await the VicePresident Debates with eager anticipation and for KamalaHarris to forensically take apart MikePence - a religious extremist notorious for being anti-LGBT but who is also distinctly uncomfortable in the presence of women. VPPick VoteBlue
I thought she was Indian American and Jamacain American.
By a major party.....There has to be a new contender. This is just so demotivating
Harris wasn’t good enough for the Dems to be President but she’s good enough as a VP because she’s a black women?!
All the more reason not to vote Biden.
Journeyman15 She’s a fucking cop. What a terrible choice.
Joe Biden is going to play his part until he forgets what he is doing in office. Kampala Harris will step up and try to become the first black woman president and Nancy Pelosi will be Vice President. They gonna try. Mark my words.
Kamala said Joe is a racist
She’s not African American she’s of Jamaican and Indian decent. No one there knows Geography?
She’s not African American, she’s Indian-Jamaican American. There’s nothing wrong with her being a different ethnicity than Black Americans, is there? If not, then why continue to advertise/market her as being part of an ethnic group that she isn’t? Just be honest
Harris basically called Joe a racist in the primary debates. She put a lot of African American men in jail for minor drug offenses and had quid pro quo relationship with Willie Brown. Should be interesting.
We can also say first Asian-American since her mom is Indian.
I get the significance of her being black, and certainly important representation that has been missing but please, can we focus on how qualified she is? BidenHarris2020
Suring up my vote for Hawkins.
Defund NPR.
Sleepy Joe & Kameltoe!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Holy Ferraro!!!
But she's not African American. The Senator herself identifies as simply American AND her parents are immigrants from India and Jamaica. But NPR is journalisming again. TruthOverFacts JoeMentia
Biden just blew it.
Hope she can get the party excited for this election. This is a good pick. It shouldn’t have mattered who he pick to go against this administration, but this feels right.
Barf
i wonder if politico knew about this beforehand- i mean it cant be a coincidence right?
We Dems just lost the election. I guess she bullied him with that false school bus story
Shame on you . Facts are paramount. Kamala Harris is *not *African American. Kamala Harris is *Brahmin Indian and *Jamaican. I demand a corrected tweet.
Me this November:
TexasStandard First Asian-American too. Hamilton had Caribbean roots so no first there...
Does Biden know yet?
Yes. Best news all day. VoteLikeYourLifeDependsOnIt VoteBlueToSaveAmerica
She’s not African-American
Don’t like her
Idiots at DNP are trying their best to lose this! They picked someone with Alzheimer so they don't pick Bernie Now they are picking the ultimate pro PoliceBrutality as VP just because she is half African American and thinks we won't notice her record! pathetic
conradjwilson This is 100% a conservative ticket.
Well done Mr VP! Well done!!!!
What a disappointment. If it wasn’t the end of the world, I’d sell my soul before voting for this trash
👏👏👏 To the Senator from CA!
She is NOT AFRICAN AMERICAN, ONLY 1/4
No rephrase; she’ll be the first African American woman Veep.
I thought she was indian-American?
dpcazares So excited about this winning ticket!
Kamal Harris is a Russian asset.
dianaxsanchez 😒
Dad - Jamaican Mom - Indian
My chest.
Did have a mind say a that ago gwaan yes.
Now let the small critiques and can’t get over it jabs begin. Take it or leave it and just keep it to yourself at this point.
Wow....AKA!!! Kamala!
let's just say that right now pencey-poo's neck is on the chopping block, and ted cruz is in the washington shopping district trying on ball gowns
kystokes British Columbia had an African English Governor hundreds of years ago (the first one)
mxduki
Thank you Joe for it's a historic day for America. Pence better look for another job, Trump is going to dump you for diamond or silk.
Tooo little too late. Took months to make the obvious choice and he will pay for that dearly. Dems are as f'd up as the republicans when push comes to shove. There will be no winners amongst the population in the forthcoming election.

I disagree with the pick.
tariqnasheed TheBlackChannel - Gentlemen, would love to hear your take on this .... a potent strategy or clinging to straw ?
Didn’t she call him a racist?
she is not african american:)
Pandering to the black vote!!!!🤣🤣🤣
Lol why is that stat an accomplishment? There was a black president for 8 years
smfh...You can't make this shit up. Congrats on the Democratic party for giving up all of their moral high ground by putting Joe Biden, and Kamala 'I don't care if he's innocent' Harris on the ticket. This election will be a shit show. I'm officially tuning out. GL everyone
Yyyyyyeeeeessssss!
Hell yeah!
She is half Asia.
She white
Haha. There goes the Dems chance of winning some of the progressive voters back.
What a horrific choice. The Biden campaign would get slaughtered if it weren’t for Trumps mishandling of the pandemic. They’ve done almost everything wrong.
Yes!
I am definitely staying the fuck home come November.....
NOOOOOOOOO!! THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!! SHOULD HAVE WENT WITH WARREN 💯
can't stand her, I'll be sick for 4 years
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!
theodoricofyork
I guess we shouldn't be surprised, since Dems continue with disastrous decisions in recent years. Not only was Biden a terrible pick, but now he chooses a bad VP. Her track record doesn't fit modern day Lib standards. He woud have been better off picking another old white man.
ahahahahahahahahaha
BEST NEWS TODAY: TraitorTrump has met his match on so many levels. It is 2020, not 1920 and we will NOT put up with slings & arrows that Kamala is too this or too that! I AM NOT PUTTING UP WITH THAT NONSENSE. GO JOE & KAMALA, WHAT A TEAM!
Hell Trump and team will love this one. She’ll be easy to destroy
Yassssssssss!!!!! This makes me feel so much better about our future! govote
Rewind to a year ago when Kamala calls Joe a racist😂😂😂 MAGA2020LandslideVictory
Oh snap that lady is badass
Yes!!
No Bernie? 😔
Asian, too?
She’s also so lame. Haha
She's not African American.
Couldn’t have picked a better candidate really. Though I personally wanted to see Stacey Abrams.
Wow.
