United States Democratic candidate in the November US presidential election, Joe Biden has picked Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate.
Harris nomination makes her the first Black woman and first South Asian-American woman to be selected as the vice presidential nominee of a major party.
55-year-old Harris had until 2019 been running against Biden for the Democratic ticket, and has for a while been considered one of the most likely choices for Biden to make as running mate.
She’s served as a prosecutor for most of her professional life, and then moved on to the Senate where she’s been described as “progressive.”
