And now without further do, our Main Story this week takes an in-depth look at the reaction over the past few days regarding #BidenHarris2020. Just saying it makes you realizes how important the 2020 Election when the day arrives to finally vote on November 3rd. Through a special #TwitterTrend and Web Choice playlist, we will hear what most of America has to say about the Biden-Harris ticket, and let me just spoiler it a little, lots of great things.
Joe Biden @JoeBiden
I have the great honor to announce that I’ve picked @KamalaHarris — a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country’s finest public servants — as my running mate.
Joe Biden @JoeBiden
Back when Kamala was Attorney General, she worked closely with Beau. I watched as they took on the big banks, lifted up working people, and protected women and kids from abuse. I was proud then, and I'm proud now to have her as my partner in this campaign.
Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris
@JoeBiden can unify the American people because he's spent his life fighting for us. And as president, he'll build an America that lives up to our ideals.
I'm honored to join him as our party's nominee for Vice President, and do what it takes to make him our Commander-in-Chief.
Reid Wilson @PoliticsReid
Kamala Harris will be the first person from a West Coast state to hold a spot on a Democratic ticket. First person from any state west of the Rockies, even.
PolitiFact @PolitiFact
In choosing Kamala Harris, Joe Biden set aside one of the biggest moments of a Democratic presidential primary debate, when Harris called him out on a controversial policy from decades ago: integrating segregated schools by busing. https://bit.ly/3agIkd4
