Let me introduce to you for the first time your next Vice President of the united states, Kamala Harris. Im so proud to stand with you. And i do so mindful of all the heroic and ambitious women before me. Biden and harris both outlined their vision for the future, drawing sharp contrasts between their ticket and President Trump and attacking his response to covid19. When other countries are following the science, trump pushed miracle cures he saw on fox news. Biden also acknowledged the historic name of their campaign.
