It's Kamala: Joe Biden's campaign announces Kamala Harris as his running mate

This isn’t much of a surprise, but Joe Biden has selected Kamala Harris as his running mate (or had her selected for him). We guess she’s forgiven him for his stance on bussing back in the day and will now run with him to be his vice president.

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.

— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) August 11, 2020

Filled with joy that Sen. @KamalaHarris is our Vice Presidential nominee! This is a historic moment, and I know that her leadership, experience, and character will help move our country forward when she and @JoeBiden take back the White House!

This is historic. @KamalaHarris as a vice presidential nominee is just a continuation of Black women walking into their power.

The best executives know that you’re only as good as the team you build. It’s a lesson that clearly escaped our current president.

But @JoeBiden just showed he gets it: @KamalaHarris is a smart choice who will be a strong partner in the White House. pic.twitter.com/Bo0Vkgfs8x

Surprisingly, Stacey Abrams is taking the news with grace and not declaring herself the VP pick:

Thrilled to support @KamalaHarris as next VP. I was honored to speak with @JoeBiden at length over the weekend and again today. His focus on reaching out to every corner of our country speaks to how he will lead us. I look forward to doing all I can for Team #BidenHarris!

Susan Rice didn’t make the cut either:

My warmest congratulations to ⁦@KamalaHarris⁩. I am confident Biden-Harris will prove to be a winning ticket. I will do my utmost to help them win and govern. ?? pic.twitter.com/9pfJggZSV9

Kamala Harris is Biden's VP. Are you as surprised as him when he found out?

Does Kamala Harris still think Joe Biden is a racist?

How nice of him to pick her after she called him a vile racist on the debate stage a little over a year ago. pic.twitter.com/d5DDiBi7m5

Why would Kamala Harris want to be part of Biden’s administration when she believes he helped pass segregationist legislation?

Joe Biden picked Kamala Harris as his VP pick,

the woman who spent her career locking up black men, while giving sanctuary cities to illegal immigrants.

I guess it’s fitting, since Joe Biden helped write the 1994 crime bill that separated black fathers from their families.

Time to unleash the opposition research.
