Biden Picks Senator Kamala Harris as Running Mate

VOA News

   Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has chosen
   California Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate, making her the first
   Black woman and the first person of Indian descent to be nominated for
   a major party's 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 tweeted Tuesday
   afternoon. "Together, with you, we're going to beat Trump."

   Harris was one of nearly two dozen presidential candidates who
   challenged Biden for the 2020 Democratic nomination.

   After winning enough primaries to secure the nomination, Biden promised
   to pick a female vice presidential candidate. There was much
   speculation he would choose a Black woman to run with him.
