Washington: In the US presidential election, Joe Biden, the Democratic Party candidate, has selected Indian-origin Senator Kamala Harris as the Vice Presidential candidate (his running mate). This is the first time that a black woman has become the vice-presidential candidate on behalf of a major party in the country. If Harris becomes Vice President, she will be the first woman in the United States to hold the post and the first Indian-American and African Vice President of the country. Harris (55 )’s father is African and his mother is Indian. She is a US Senator from California. Former President Barack Obama often describes Harris as a pioneer. Biden (77) announced this in a written message on Tuesday afternoon, ending speculation over several days.
He made this announcement ahead of the ‘Democratic National Convention’, in which Biden will be formally nominated for the November 3 presidential election. Biden said in the message, “Joe Biden, I have chosen Kamala Harris as the Vice Presidential candidate.” Together with you we will defeat Trump (President of America). Welcome to the team. ” Biden said she would be the best partner to get the country back on track. Biden’s election campaign said, “Joe Biden is contesting to reunite the nation to advance the nation.” Biden is well aware of the importance of the Vice President and is confident that Kamala Harris will be the best partner to get the country back on track. ” Earlier, Biden also sent a special plane to bring Harris’s family from California. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump (Donald Trump) has expressed surprise at Biden’s decision. “We’ll see how she works,” Trump told a news conference at the White House. He did extremely poorly in the primary. His better performance was expected. “She said,” She was in discussions about many things, so I am a little surprised by Biden’s selection of them. “
Indian-American groups in the US have praised Biden’s nomination of an Indian-origin senator as the vice-presidential candidate, saying it was a moment of pride and celebration for the entire community in America. Renowned Indian-American and ‘IndiaSpora’ founder M.R. Rangaswamy told News agency, “It is a proud moment for Indian-Americans. The Indian-American is now truly a mainstream in the national fabric. ” Leading Indian-American groups ‘Impact’ and ‘PAC’ welcomed the decision, saying they would raise $ 10 million for the campaign. “About 1.3 million Indian Americans are expected to vote this year,” said Impact Executive Director Neil Makhija.
