Rage in beirut thousands remember the victims of the deadly force explosion one week ago this as angry crowds renew calls for the president s resignation. Im told me a lot of well its good to have you with us the u. S. Democrats president ial candidate joe biden has selected kamelot harris to be his running mate in novembers election the senator from california is the 1st black woman to be a major parties candidate for Vice President now the decision comes a week ahead of the Democratic National convention where biden and harris will be officially confirmed to challenge President Donald Trump and his v. P. Mike pence for the white house. Lets will indeed up your correspondent in us poll who joins us from new york in new jersey is this a surprise choice. Well yes and no you know many people really speculated that she would become the v. P. Pick of joe biden because i mean shes very qualified she is African American plus her mother is from india. But some people thought that joe biden might not pick her because she really was criticizing him really harshly on the come pain trail but by the end of the day he obviously picture ok tell us more about this candidate about the Vice President ial candidate. So you know she is very energetic people hold democrats hope i shall say that she gives this energy to the campaign of joe biden which is lacking a little bit of exactly that shes very evil known she is highly respected among many politicians and shes very well connected but as a prosecutor is she also was really for strong Law Enforcement so that it could backfire little bit on her. How does this overall effect impact bidens bid for the white house. Well it will most definitely increase his chances to get elected she is the 1st and therefore this is really a historic moment she is the 1st blank b. P. Pick from a major party she obviously joe biden hopes that she will gain votes from the Africanamerican Community also from other minorities shes a woman obviously so he hopes that she reaches out to women and this is actually not really reported shes also an interfaith candidate her mother was hidden to her husband is jewish and she has selves called her a baptist so shes really reaching out to different religious communities and this is always an important case here in the United States and considering harris and biden repeatedly clashed there in the primary election debates what kind of a partnership will this be. Well both of them are really professionals there are many many years in politics and joe biden gave himself a lot himself a long time to pick his candidate so im sure that he overcame any grudges hell held against her it will be a very professional relationship and i actually think that joe biden will use the power and the knowledge of his cabinet much more than other president s did before so im expecting a very good political relationship between the 2 of them.
