Infections. And its a race against time athletes in uganda hoping to get back on track after the coronavirus lockdown. Im told me a lot of thanks for joining us well again in the u. S. Where democratic president ial candidate joe biden and his newly chosen running mate cavalia harris have made their 1st joint a joint Campaign Appearance harris is the 1st woman of color on a major partys president ial ticket journey her speech in wilmington delaware she criticized president Donald Trumps handling of the coronavirus pandemic the president s mismanagement of the pandemic has plunged us into the worst economic crisis since the great depression.

I think her core message was we dont need a victory v need a mandate what that she mean with that she knows if the democrats vin only like with a short margin donald trump and his fellow was might challenge the outcome might even not want to leave the white house so she really encouraged everyone to go out and vote and i think her other huge message was we need a coalition of conscious so she really also reaches out to possible swing voters i think from from the republicans because she knows that many are criticizing the president. And what does she bring to this campaign to joe bidens bid for the presidency. Well i think both of them joe biden and she theyre kind of matching their weaknesses so 1st of all obviously shes a woman hes a man shes much younger shes 55. 00 hes 77. 00 and she is the 1st no no white female waste president so she reaches out to female voters which will be crucial in this election and she reaches out to minority voters which the democrats needs to regain the white house. Someone watching this and not particularly familiar with this whole system why is it important who the Vice President ial candidate is. Well 1st of all for the come pain right as we just talked about she brings something into the come pain joe biden is like also kind of actually really her california and her gee joe biden will be 78 years old on the Inauguration Day so wherever possible that she has to jump in at some point and become the president and the other point is that joe biden already has announced that she hes not going to run for a 2nd term that would make it also possible that she then would run for president so it is likely that the this v. P. Pick will be at some point the next president of the United States in a simple thank you.
