#vpotus49 ♥️ @kamalaharris I am coming to you today with some big news: I'm honored to join Joe Biden in the fight for the soul of our country as the Democratic Vice Presidential Nominee. Joe is a leader who can unify the American people, because he's spent his life fighting for the American people. And as president, he will build an America that lives up to our ideals. My mom and dad, like so many other immigrants, came to this country for an education. My mother from India and my dad from Jamaica. And the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s brought them together. Some of my earliest memories are from that time: My parents being attacked by police with hoses, fleeing for safety, with me strapped tightly in my stroller. That spirit of activism is why my mother, Shyamala, would always tell my sister and me, "Don't just sit around and complain about things. Do something." That's why I became a District Attorney and fought to fix a broken system from within. Why I served as California's Attorney General. Why I'm proud to represent my state as a U.S. Senator. And it's why, today, I'm humbled to be joining Joe Biden in the battle to defeat Donald Trump and build a country that lives up to our values of truth, equality, and justice. I know that winning this race will be tougher than anything I've faced before, but I've never been more ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work. Donald Trump thinks this country belongs to him. But Joe Biden knows it belongs to all of us. To the people. And together, the people are going to take it back.
