'US crying for leadership': Kamala Harris, in first address with Joe Biden, vows to end Donald Trump's presidency
FirstpostKamala Harris left little doubt of her determination to go on the attack, saying the US president ‘just isn’t up for the job’ Joe Biden and Kamala Harris launched their joint bid for the White House Wednesday, with vice presidential nominee Harris saying Americans are ‘crying out for leadership’ to overcome a triple crisis of health, racial injustice and a ravaged economy. Making their first appearance as running mates, before a small crowd of reporters and staffers at a Delaware high school closed to the public due to coronavirus concerns, the Democratic duo vowed to end Donald Trump’s presidency and, in Biden’s words, “rebuild this country.” “Everything we care about,” said Harris. “It’s all on the line.” A formidable 55-year-old US senator from California and a daughter of immigrants, Harris has already made history as the first woman of colour tapped for a major party presidential ticket. Trump, who last month acknowledged Harris would be a ‘fine choice’ for Biden, attacked her following Tuesday’s announcement as ’nasty’ and a radical leftist who would implement ‘socialized medicine’ and confiscate Americans’ guns.
