He shared that selecting Harris was the first choice he made as the 2020 Democratic nominee, calling it the best decision of his campaign.

Throughout his message, Biden emphasized Harris’s role as a leader for all Americans, stressing her ability to inspire future generations.

He noted how her life and achievements continue to serve as a beacon for many, particularly young girls and people of color, who see her success as proof that they, too, can rise to positions of influence and power.

Harris, a former U.S. senator and attorney general of California, has spent years advocating for justice and equality, championing causes such as healthcare access, criminal justice reform, and economic opportunities for underrepresented communities.

Her path as the first female, Black, and South Asian Vice President is one Biden sees as a defining chapter in America’s progress.

In his closing remarks, Biden expressed confidence in Harris’s ongoing work, saying he has no doubt she will continue her fight with a sense of purpose and joy.
