Our brian thomas good to have you with us today we begin in the u. S. Where democratic president ial candidate joe biden and running mate come to harris have made their 1st joint Campaign Appearance harriss the 1st woman of color on a major Party President ial ticket there of and comes prior to biden formally accepting the democratic nomination next week. Historic debut for the biden harris ticket even though the pandemic kept the crowds away the democratic duo campaigning in person together for the 1st time in joe bidens home state of delaware the former Vice President called harris a tough proven fighter whose background reflected the diversity of america. And this morning all across the nation. Little girls woke up special little black and brown girls who so often feel overlooked and undervalued in their communities but today today just maybe theyre seeing themselves for the 1st time in a new way as the stuff of president and Vice President s harris is the 1st woman of color to be the Vice President ial candidate on a Major Party Ticket she used President Trump of bungling the Coronavirus Response and failing to confront racism. The president s mismanagement of the pandemic has plunged us into the worst economic crisis since the great depression. And were experiencing a moral reckoning with racism and systemic injustice that has brought a new coalition of conscience to the streets of our country demanding change america is crying out for leadership. But harris and biden havent always seen eye to eye last year she attacked his judgment on racial issues as she campaigned for the president ial nomination. It was hurtful. To hear you talk about the reputations of 2 United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country mr ridge my position across the board i did not praise racist yet the pair now stand united ready to take on donald trump and mike pence in november its a dramatic reversal of fortune for the california senator after a disappointing president ial Campaign Donald trump is trailing in the polls and biden has signaled he could serve just one term but means harris could now have the inside track to the presidency in 2024. Did evies william here now with more on this day to you william what was it was them all harrisons core message in her 1st campaign i mean it was as clear as it was obvious trump has ruined everything trump has abandoned America Biden earlier in the speech talked about how trump is too busy on his golf course to be taken care of the pandemic and and paris talked about it being an open and shut case her being a lawyer using a kind of lawyer early term she she focused most on the 165000 counting corona deaths the 16000000 jobs that have been lost the United States in saying where is donald trump now of course theyre treating this very much as the cause of all the problems donald trump has course donald trump the trump ministrations very much a symptom of many of the problems the United States has had for a very long time of the pandemic has really laid bare in terms of inequality with Health Care Problems with access to education problems with social justice how the pandemic has affected certain communities for the communities of color like in more ways than others so these are the kinds of issues that that harris is really hitting home so nothing really unexpected and borderline or. You know what during the primaries he was one of the 1st to bow out. Early on can she connect with undecided voters and with moderate republicans i dont know if thats so much her job thats really joe biden job joe biden has a long record of being a very solid centrist. Getting a lot having a lot of good experience working with republicans traditional republicans if we can remember back to a pretrial era. And many republicans many moderates are very comfortable Joe Biden Joe biden doesnt carry the same baggage that Hillary Clinton carried to that 16 of being unfortunately a woman which was a negative for her for in the eyes of many voters and being a clinton who was viewed as an elitist varies a lot of clinton fatigue joe biden doesnt have those issues. Wont be a negative on that not affect she in fact quite interestingly in her speech appealed to what many voters are interested in is her personal life she talked a lot about being the importance of being a mother being at home taking care of her kids these are also issues tional values what we would call traditional values not just being you know that fierce tough lawyer career woman who also being a while im other at home responded swinging what does this mean for his campaign briefly if you did trump is sticking to his line of fear telling suburban voters if you know the Biden Harris Campaign is going to bring crime to your community is this going to ruin your communities theres a lot of racially divisive rhetoric and coded rhetoric in his response trying to scare specifically white women in suburbs to come back to vote for him which is a group hes been losing about 80 days to go to win back that group of voters thanks much for coming in.
