Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his newly-chosen running mate Kamala Harris campaigned together for the first time Wednesday, as the former primary rivals sought to solidify their advantage over President Donald Trump and secure their place in American history.
Biden, a 77-year-old white man, embraced the significance of naming the first Black woman to a major party's presidential ticket, but he focused on other attributes Harris brings to the ticket.
He hailed the California senator, the 55-year-old former prosecutor who a year ago excoriated Biden on a primary debate stage, as the right woman to help him defeat Trump and then lead a nation facing crises in triplicate: a pandemic, wounded economy and long-simmering reckoning with systemic racism.
Harris, the daughter of immigrants from India and Jamaica, sat feet away from Biden, listening with her mask off.
Taking the stage after him, Harris said she was honored by the responsibility and "ready to get to work."
Mo Elleithee, executive director of Georgetown University Institute of Politics and Public Service, says part of those next steps will be act as a surrogate-in-chief, playing to suburban swing voters and projecting inclusivity the Biden-Harris campaign wants to mobilize supporters with.
