When you\u2019re in the Oval Office, weighing the toughest issues and the choice you make will affect the lives and livelihoods of the entire country \u2014 you need someone with you who\u2019s got the judgment and the character to make the right call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJoe Biden nailed this decision. By choosing Senator Kamala Harris as America\u2019s next vice president, he\u2019s underscored his own judgment and character. Reality shows us that these attributes are not optional in a president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re requirements of the job. And now Joe has an ideal partner to help him tackle the very real challenges America faces right now and in the years ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve known Senator Harris for a long time. She is more than prepared for the job. She\u2019s spent her career defending our Constitution and fighting for folks who need a fair shake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHer own life story is one that I and so many others can see ourselves in: a story that says that no matter where you come from, what you look like, how you worship, or who you love, there\u2019s a place for you here. It\u2019s a fundamentally American perspective, one that\u2019s led us out of the hardest times before. And it\u2019s a perspective we can all rally behind right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMichelle and I couldn\u2019t be more thrilled for Kamala, Doug, Cole, and Ella. This is a good day for our country. Now let\u2019s go win this thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On her part, Hilary Clinton, the Democrat candidate in the 2016 election, tweeted: \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to welcome Kamala Harris to a historic Democratic ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s already proven herself to be an incredible public servant and leader. And I know she\u2019ll be a strong partner to Joe Biden. Please join me in having her back and getting her elected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: The Nation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presidential candidate Joe Biden has been cheered by former President Barrack Obama with other major Democratic Party leaders for choosing Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate.
