YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s selection of California Senator Kamala Harris as his vice-presidential running mate for the November election makes her the first Black woman and the first Indian American on a major party presidential ticket. Some, like She the People's Allison Aimee, laud Harris's nomination as a means of empowering Black women and women of color, who are "the fastest growing voting bloc and the most underrepresented at every level of government." But others, like Current Affairs contributing editor Briahna Joy Gray, are more critical of Harris for her status as a former attorney general — a "top cop from California" running for office amid the largest protest movement in U.S. history against racist policing.
