Joe Biden and Kamala Harris made their debut together as running mates Wednesday afternoon in Wilmington, Delaware, a day after Biden announced his choice of the California senator to join him on the 2020 Democratic ticket.

“This morning, all across the nation, little girls woke up, especially little black and brown girls who so often feel overlooked in their communities ... for the first time they are seeing themselves as presidents and vice presidents,” Biden said. “I’ve asked Kamala to be the last voice in the room... always tell me the truth... challenge my assumptions if she disagrees. Ask the tough questions. Because that’s the way we make the best decisions for the American people,” Biden added.
