BREAKING: Joe Biden picks Kamala Harris as his running mate
Former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday announced his long-awaited pick for a running mate, selecting Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., as his choice for vice president.
The Biden campaign announced Harris as the VP choice on its website Tuesday afternoon after informing several of the candidates that they were not selected as his running mate. Harris, who lost her own bid for the 2020 Democratic nomination, clashed with Biden during the first primary debate by attacking his record on race. She sharply criticized him for his fond recollection of working with segregationist senators in the U.S. Senate and his opposition to federally mandated busing in the 1970s.
“I did not praise racists. That is not true, No. 1,” he said. “No. 2, if we want to have this campaign litigated on who supports civil rights and whether I did or not, I’m happy to do that.” And during the primary, Harris’s pre-Senate résumé came under scrutiny. She was a prosecutor, district attorney and state attorney general before becoming a U.S. senator.
