“She is more than prepared for the job. She’s spent her career defending our Constitution and fighting for folks who need a fair shake,”said Barack Obama, he also said that he has known Harris for a long time.
Former US president Barack Obama has collaborated with top Democrats, including famous Hillary Clinton, to glorify Indian-American Senator Kamala Harris’ selection as the party’s vice-presidential candidate in this coming November election, saying Joe Biden has “nailed this decision”.
Presumptive Democratic Party presidential nominee Biden on Tuesday announced 55-year-old Harris as their vice-presidential running mate, making history by selecting the first black woman to compete on a major party’s presidential ticket.
Obama said in a statement, “Choosing a vice president is the first important decision a president makes. When you’re in the Oval Office, weighing the toughest issues, and the choice you make will affect the lives and livelihoods of the entire country — you need someone with you who’s got the judgment and the character to make the right call.”
