Biden called his selection of Harris in 2020 election
– The Democratic National Convention kicked off in Chicago with an emotional adieu for US President Joe Biden , who hailed Vice President Kamala Harris and the accomplishments of their administration in a fiery, sometimes teary speech.
"We both know we have more to do, but we're moving in the right direction," he said, referring to himself and the 59-year-old Harris, who, in the space of a few breathtaking weeks, has turned the presidential race upside down. “America, I gave my best to you. I made a lot of mistakes in my career. But I gave my best to you for 50 years,” Biden said. “I’ve been too young to be in the Senate because I wasn’t yet 30, and too old to stay as president. But I hope you know how grateful I am to all of you.”Harris, the US's first female, Black and South Asian vice president has quickly breathed new life into the Democratic Party and wiped out Republican rival Trump's lead in the polls.
Harris heaped lavish tribute on Biden while breaking with tradition to speak on the first night of the convention in praise of her boss. Hillary Clinton, who lost against Trump in 2016 in her own bid to become America's first woman president, backed Harris to finally break the glass ceiling.
