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


Dr. Jill Biden @DrBiden
Hey @DouglasEmhoff. Are you ready?

Doug Emhoff @douglasemhoff

I’ve known Senator @KamalaHarris for a long time. She is more than prepared for the job. She’s spent her career defending our Constitution and fighting for folks who need a fair shake. This is a good day for our country. Now let’s go win this thing.

Susan Rice @AmbassadorRice
My warmest congratulations to ⁦@KamalaHarris⁩. I am confident Biden-Harris will prove to be a winning ticket.  I will do my utmost to help them win and govern.

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
.@KamalaHarris will be a great partner to @JoeBiden in making our government a powerful force for good in the fight for social, racial, and economic justice.

Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton
I'm thrilled to welcome @KamalaHarris to a historic Democratic ticket. She's already proven herself to be an incredible public servant and leader. And I know she’ll be a strong partner to @JoeBiden. Please join me in having her back and getting her elected.

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Congratulations to @KamalaHarris, who will make history as our next Vice President. She understands what it takes to stand up for working people, fight for health care for all, and take down the most corrupt administration in history. Let’s get to work and win.

Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar
Filled with joy that Sen. @KamalaHarris is our Vice Presidential nominee! This is a historic moment, and I know that her leadership, experience, and character will help move our country forward when she and @JoeBiden take back the White House!
