Kamala Harris made her campaign-trail debut as Joe Biden's Democratic running mate on Wednesday, delivering a strong rebuke of President Donald Trump's leadership and highlighting the historic significance of her new role.
Harris said Biden, the former vice president under President Barack Obama, had recognised the critical moment being faced by the country by picking her to be the first Black woman and Asian American on a major-party US presidential ticket.
"Today, he takes his place in the ongoing story of America's march toward equality and justice as the only person who served alongside the first Black president, and has chosen the first Black woman as his running mate," said Harris, a US senator from California.
Nearly nine out of 10 Democrats approved of Harris as Biden's pick, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday.
