The ruling Democratic Party on Friday declared the current Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris as its candidate for the next presidential election. Harris is the first woman of Indian-African origin to be nominated for the presidency. Now in the general election to be held on November 5, 59-year-old Kamala Harris will face Republican Party candidate and former President Donald Trump.
Kamala Harris made history
Kamala Harris has created history even before the US presidential election. She will be the first black female candidate to run for president on a major party ticket in US history. Meanwhile, Donald Trump said on Friday that he has not yet decided whether to participate in a debate with his potential Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.
What did Kamala Harris say on becoming the presidential candidate?
“I am very proud to confirm that Vice President Harris has secured a majority of all convention delegates,” Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison said after the online counting of delegate votes across the country was completed and voting was complete. She will be the Democratic Party's candidate. “I am proud to be the Democratic candidate for President of the United States,” Kamala Harris said after receiving the nomination from a majority of the Democratic Party delegates. “I will officially accept the nomination next week.” This campaign is about patriotic people coming together and fighting for the best.
Mother was Indian, father was of Jamaican origin
Kamala Harris's mother was Indian American, while her father was a Jamaican of African descent. Harris will officially accept the party's nomination after the online voting period ends next week. He will formally accept the presidential nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on August 22. He may announce his vice-presidential candidate in the next few days.
Donald Trump said, 'Well, I will. And we're still leading in the polls. Harris is better than him, but I think she will ultimately be worse than him. “If I didn't debate, they would say, 'Oh Trump is not debating,'” he said. They would still say that. I mean why should I debate and everybody knows him, everybody knows me.
