Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are set to debut the Democratic presidential ticket the party hopes will defeat Donald Trump in November’s election with an in-person campaign event in Biden’s home state of Delaware. The former primary rivals will appear at a high school in Biden’s home town of Wilmington to discuss their shared vision for how to defeat Trump and then lead the country through a pandemic, its economic fallout and a national reckoning with racism. The daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, Harris is a California senator and former prosecutor, and the first Black woman and first person of Asian descent to join a major party presidential ticket.“I was raised to take action,” Harris said in a video she posted on Twitter on Wednesday. “My mother knew that she was raising two Black daughters who would be treated differently because of how they looked.“Growing up, whenever I got upset about something, my mother would look me in the eye and ask: ‘So what are you gonna do about it?’”In another election year, Biden and Harris might have appeared before a roaring crowd in a diversifying battleground state like Arizona or Georgia, raising their clasped hands skyward in a projection of victory.
