  • Kamala Harris is officially Joe Biden's pick for vice president!

  • The moment when Joe asked Kamala to be his running mate was thankfully caught on tape.

This year's presidential election is more important than ever due to *ahem* some people who may or may not be trying to sabotage the mail-in voting system, but there's a silver lining on all the messed up things going on in politics rn: Joe Biden, the official democratic candidate, has finally chosen his running mate...and it's none other than Kamala Harris!

Luckily for us, Joe filmed the moment when he asked Kamala to be his pick for vice president. Before cutting to the footage that shows Kamala saying yes to Joe's proposition, Kamala gave a powerful speech about her personal background, the current state of politics, and why she wants Joe to win the election.

She said:

"I was raised to take action. My mother knew she was raising two black daughters who would be treated differently because of the way they looked. Growing up, whenever I got upset about something, my mother would look me in the eye and ask: "So what are you going to do about it?"

That's why when I saw a broken justice system, I became a lawyer and tried to fix it. It's why during the foreclosure crisis, I took on the big banks as California's Attorney General. It's why as United States Senator, I have fought to represent people like my mother. People who politicians often overlook or don't take seriously.

Right now America needs action. In the middle of a pandemic, the president is trying to rip away health care. While small businesses close, he's given breaks to his wealthy donors. And when the people cried out for support, he tear gassed them. America is in crisis, and I know Joe Biden will lead us out of it. He's a man of faith, decency, and character. He raised his family that way. I saw it firsthand with my good friend, Beau. As Joe says, we're in a battle for a soul of this nation, but together it's a battle we can win. We just have to take action."

Big reminder: Don't! Forget! To! Vote!
