President Joe Biden recently hosted a Diwali celebration at the White House, where he took the opportunity to praise Vice President Kamala Harris just eight days before the election. During his speech, Biden highlighted the reasons why he chose Harris as his running mate, emphasizing her intelligence, toughness, and trustworthiness. He also pointed out that Harris possesses more experience than her opponent and commended her character, stating that it is one of her most significant qualities.
Despite the festive occasion, Biden humorously mentioned that Harris was unable to attend the event due to her busy campaign schedule. The President's remarks centered on recognizing the valuable contributions made by individuals of South Asian descent to America's history. He also reflected on the fundamental ideals on which America was founded.
Vice President Kamala Harris holds the distinction of being the first Black woman and the first Asian American to lead a major-party ticket in the United States. Her historic candidacy has been a significant milestone in American politics, symbolizing progress and diversity in leadership roles.
