Kamala Harris during campaign-trail debut: “America is crying out for leadership” | FULL SPEECH
CA, 13 Aug 2020
California Sen. Kamala Harris made her Democratic campaign-trail debut as Joe Biden's vice-presidential running mate on Wednesday, criticizing Republican President Donald Trump for mismanaging the coronavirus pandemic and making an urgent argument for a Biden administration.
The day after Biden tapped her to join his campaign, Harris and Biden shared memories of their family connections and their agenda for the White House.
Harris quickly leaped to the attack on Trump, saying he had endangered Americans by not taking the pandemic seriously, plunging the U.S. into an economic crisis even as it wrestles with racial and social injustice.
"America is crying out for leadership, yet we have a president who cares more about himself than the people who elected him, a president who is making every challenge we face even more difficult to solve," Harris said.
Biden, in introducing her, said he made "the right choice" of Harris to join his campaign.
"I have no doubt that I picked the right person to join me as the next vice president of the United States of America, and that is Senator Kamala Harris," Biden said in introducing Harris, who sat behind him on stage to watch Biden's speech. "She's ready to do this job on day one. We're both ready to get to work rebuilding this nation," he said.
The joint appearance came just days before Biden will formally accept the Democratic presidential nomination at next week's party convention, which will take place largely as a virtual event because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Harris is the first Black woman and the first person of South Asian descent to be on a major party's presidential ticket in U.S. history.
