Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris has expressed delight to have been selected as Joe Biden’s running mate as they battle to defeat incumbent President Donald Trump ahead of the November 3 election.
On Wednesday, Harris appeared with Biden as his running mate for the first time, making a strong statement of intent for the party.
The 55-year-old California senator and a daughter of immigrants attacked the US president as an incompetent leader, saying Trump “just isn’t up for the job,” as the country is at the crossroads.

“yet we have a president who cares more about himself than the people who elected him,” she said.
“I was so proud to stand with @JoeBiden earlier today as our party’s nominee for Vice President, and I do so mindful of all the heroic and ambitious women before me whose sacrifice, determination, and resilience makes my presence here even possible.
