"Was there ever more of an exciting day? For our entire country of course, but especially for my Black and Indian sisters, many of us who have gone our entire lives thinking that someone who looks like us may never hold high office? We work so hard and contribute to the fabric of our lives in America, & now to see @SenKamalaHarris rise to the top like this? It's thrilling!! I am filled with hope and excitement. Thank you @JoeBiden Let's do this! @meenaharris @mayaharris_ @RohiniKos #sisterhood #letsdothis #bidenharris2020," she tweeted.
Host Padma Lakshmi shared a GIF of her cheering on.
Chef Vikas Khanna sees this move as a rise of New America. "Living in the US for 20 years, I never thought that I would see an Indian American on a Presidential ticket. This is the rise of New America. @KamalaHarris," he wrote on Twitter.
"This is a historical, transformational, and proud moment for all women. All women of colour, all Black women, and all South Asian women. Congratulations @kamalaharris on becoming the first Black woman and FIRST PERSON of Indian descent to compete on a major U.S. party's presidential ticket. #representationmatters PS: To my younger self - look how far we have come!"
