Biden Chooses Afro-American Woman for Vice President to Run in US Election

Joe Biden, Democratic presidential candidate has chose an African-American as his vice president on his party ticket.

US activists said that the choice of Kamala Harris by Biden for vice president showed his commitment to black voters. But they cautioned that it might not guarantee him support of the African and Latino communities.

Biden has chosen Harris as the first black woman on the presidential ticket of a major party in US history.

Biden hinted to activists that he had learned from the lessons of 2016, when the first drop in black voter turnout in 20 years helped Republican President Donald Trump win the race to the White House.

Some prominent activists urged Biden to choose a black-skinned woman, at a time when the country is still facing widespread protests against racial injustice, and with the disproportionate increase in the number of people of color with the Coronavirus.

Traditionally, black Americans, and women in particular, are the most loyal constituencies of the Democratic Party.

Amy Allison, founder of "She the People, which promotes the participation of black women in American politics, said that Biden has respond to the call of millions of us, a truly critical message to the party base that means: I see you, I hear you."

Other black leaders mentioned that Harris, a US senator from California, has experience building a multi-ethnic coalition of voters that would boost Biden's chances in the November 3 US presidential election.

They said it would boost turnout not only among black voters, but also white women in critical states such as Michigan and Wisconsin, where Trump narrowly won the 2016 election.

However, the prospective Democratic candidate for the US presidential elections has apologized for his statement in which he spoke about the lack of persity in African American society.

Biden said in a tweet on his Twitter page: Earlier, he spoke about the persity in the African American and Hispanic communities, and now he wanted to clarify that. He added that he did not mean in any way that African Americans are a homogeneous mass. Not perse), neither in their identity nor in their problems, not at all.

Earlier in a press interview, Biden said that unlike African Americans, the Hispanic ethnic group in the United States is "incredibly perse".

On his part, US President Donald Trump immediately criticized his rival Biden in the upcoming presidential election, describing his statement about African Americans as insulting.

Trump has expressed strong opposition to the postal vote in the upcoming presidential election, suggesting the possibility of postponing the elections against the backdrop of the Coronavirus pandemic.

In a series of tweets he posted today on his Twitter account, Trump warned that voting in the mail appears to be "a tremendous catastrophe.

He added that Democrats are talking about a foreign influence on voting, but they know that voting via mail is an easy way for foreign countries to interfere in the electoral race, and even moreover, there is no accurate count.

Trump defended his handling with the Corona pandemic, which has claimed souls of more than 150,000 Americans to date.

He put the blame at the doors of the media as responsible for covering up the "Chinese virus" outbreak in other countries, "some of which are currently experiencing a disaster.", saying that many countries' statistics on the spread of infection in their territory lacks precision.

The US president warned that the general vote by mail (but not the voting in absentia, which is a good thing) in 2020 will lead to less accurate and more fraudulent elections, and will embarrass the United States enormously, questioning the possibility of "postponing the elections unless people can vote in an appropriate, safe and reliable manner.
