The Democratic Party’s presidential nominee has emerged as Vice President Kamala Harris, and US President Joe Biden expressed his pride, stating “he couldn’t be prouder.”
Kamala Harris officially secured the nomination on Friday, setting up a showdown with Republican candidate Donald Trump in the upcoming November elections.
Since Biden withdrew from the re-election race two weeks ago, Harris has broken fundraising records, attracted large crowds at events, and closed the polling gap that Trump had established over the President.
Expressing his pride, Biden shared his feelings after her nomination, saying, “I couldn’t be prouder.”
Kamala Harris has made history by becoming the first Black and South Asian woman to secure a major party’s nomination. The 59-year-old will be formally nominated at a Chicago convention later this month.
