Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Tuesday tapped Senator Kamala Harris of California as his choice for vice president, his campaign told supporters in a text message.
Harris, 55, becomes the first Black woman on a major presidential ticket in U.S. history and providing him with a partner well suited to go on the attack against Republican President Donald Trump.
"I have the great honor to announce that I've picked [Kamala Harris], a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country's finest public servants as my running mate," Biden said on Twitter.
