“I decided that Kamala Harris is the best person who will help me to fight with Donald trump and Mike Pence and then to lead this nation starting in January 2021,” said the prospective presidential candidate of the Democrats.
Harris, which in recent years has become one of the most irreconcilable opponents of the current head of the White house, during the Senate hearing conducted “interrogation” candidates trump, proposed after his election to the presidency. This is similar to CNN.
In the campaign headquarters, trump said: the opponent’s choice is proof that Biden is “an empty shell, filled with extreme intentions of the radical left-wing”.
the 55-year-old Harris became the third woman who became a candidate for Vice-President from a major political party, following Geraldine Ferraro was proposed as Vice-President from the Democrats in 1984 and Sarah Palin chosen as Vice-President from the Republicans in 2008.
Realizing that his age may worry some voters, 77-year-old Biden said he is a “bridge” between the old guard and the new generation of leaders-Democrats, and so chose Harris, who for more than 20 years younger than him. Before the start of the pandemic Biden hinted that, most likely, will offer the Vice presidency to a woman. The choice of Biden was in secrecy, he talked to the candidates personally, having considered the nominations of the ten women politicians. Kamala Harris and former Obama adviser on national security Susan rice – considered the most serious candidates for the post. Biden called Harris “a fearless fighter for the rights of the little man” and “one of the best public servants in the country.”
At the time, when he was attorney General of California, Kamala Harris worked closely with the late Biden’s son, Beau, a well known lawyer, who died of brain cancer at the age of 46 years.
it is interesting that when Harris was running for the post of the candidate in presidents of the United States in this election, says the BBC, she constantly clashed with Biden during the debate on primary elections, particularly criticizing him for “working relationship” with the former senators, who advocated racial segregation.
democratic Senator was born in Oakland, California, in a family of two immigrants: his mother, born in India, and his father, a native of Jamaica. She graduated from Howard University, one of the main American universities for blacks, calling their studies in this “one of the most important events in her life.”
Then Harris received a law degree from the University of California at Hastings and began her career in the district attorney’s office Alameda County. She became the chief attorney of San Francisco in 2003, and later General attorney California, the most populous state of America. In the nearly two-term tenure as attorney General, Kamala Harris has gained a reputation as one of the rising stars of the Democratic party, and in 2017 he became a Senator.
She announced his candidacy for President of the United States in early 2019. However, despite the high confidence rating among Democrats, it failed clear and understandable for Americans to formulate its campaign strategy. She often gave convoluted answers to questions.
In the end, the slogan “Kamala – guard” became the refrain of her campaign, preventing her attempts to win over more liberal democratic base during the primaries. However, according to analysts, the experience of its working in law enforcement can be helpful in the presidential elections, when the Democrats need to attract the more moderate and conservative voters.
