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. pic.twitter.com/duJhFhWp6g

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.

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.

That day when a little girl from Oaktown became the first black woman to be a major-party vice-presidential nominee...😭

So incredibly proud of you, sis!

Thrilled to support @KamalaHarris as next VP. I was honored to speak with @JoeBiden at length over the weekend and again today. His focus on reaching out to every corner of our country speaks to how he will lead us. I look forward to doing all I can for Team #BidenHarris!

@KamalaHarris is a great choice for Vice President.

Her tenacious pursuit of justice and relentless advocacy for the people is what is needed right now. 1/ pic.twitter.com/Fnv9SgWxDc

I worked closely with her when I was in Sacramento and she was the District Attorney in San Francisco. I continue to work closely with her here in Washington, DC as we push to reform our nation's policing system. 2/

California is better because of her work as Attorney General and stronger because of her work as Senator.

Now all Americans will benefit from her work as Vice President.

I will do everything I can to help her and @JoeBiden win in November. 3/3

It's 150 days since Breonna Taylor was murdered. Too often Black women who die from police violence are forgotten. Stay loud, demand justice—and SAY HER NAME. This tee is made in partnership with the Breonna Taylor Foundation to whom all profits are given. https://t.co/pqPaHM59dQ pic.twitter.com/7sC16ZIn2f

Every person taken by police violence leaves a family behind.

Months after Breonna Taylor’s murder, her sister still struggles with grief.

We must continue to fight for justice not just for Breonna, but for her mother, sister, and all who loved her.https://t.co/VdhGRS1ZLo

I think it’s time we demand for the resignation of everyone who is implicated in #BreonnaTaylor’s murder, from the police to the politicians. We must demand they step down immediately and not let up until they do.
