Good choice!
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 55-year-old California senator and former state attorney general and San Francisco district attorney becomes the first Black woman to be named to a national political ticket by a major party. Harris is also the first Asian-American vice presidential nominee in history.

Biden announced Harris as his VP choice on Instagram Tuesday afternoon after informing several of the candidates that they were not selected.
“I have the great honor to announce that I’ve picked @kamalaharris — a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country’s finest public servants — as my running mate,” he said. “Back when Kamala was Attorney General, she worked closely with Beau. I watched as they took on the big banks, lifted up working people, and protected women and kids from abuse. I was proud then, and I’m proud now to have her as my partner in this campaign.”

This moves Biden ever closer to the Oval Office.
