African Asian American Kamala Harris Will Be Vice President Nominee

Joe Biden has chosen Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate. She made history again as the first Black Asian American woman to grace a presidential ticket.

Biden, who played a central role in Barack Obama’s history making journey to the presidency in 2008, now presents himself to voters as a transitional figure choosing Harris as a way to shape the future of the party.

Harris grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her background includes being the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants and now embodies the new American story.

We are very excited that Kamala Harris is the one who can represent the immigrant community and write a new chapter in the history of the United States.

President Trump has attempted to brand Harris as a big raiser of taxes, a proponent of socialized medicine and one of the most liberal members of the U.S. Senate.

Given the nation’s current focus on race relations and criminal justice issues, her background is a natural fit for the position.

As Joe Biden has said, Harris has long been a fearless fighter for the little guy.

   贺锦丽-----首位非裔亚裔副总统候选人

出生在加州南湾现年五十五岁的参议员贺锦丽( 中文名由旧金山侨领所取），今天被民主党总统候选人拜登提名為副总统侯选人。贺锦丽的父亲是牙买加移民，在史坦福大学任教， 母亲是印度外交官，女儿是癌症研究专家。她在一九八六年获豪伍大学政治学系学士，一九八九取得加州大学法学士，她一路从奥克兰市检查官到加州检察总长，於二O一七年当选美国参议员，由于她的母亲来自印度，她和妹妹经常回到印度探亲， 她将於下週的民主党大会中正式提名為副总统候选人，也是第一位具有非裔、亚裔的女副总统候选人。

拜登在声明中说，我相信她是最佳人选，来帮忙我和川普、潘斯竞争，让我们的国家从明年二O二一元月重新开始， 贺锦丽誓言协助他成為三军总司令。

今天我们整个社区对贺锦丽提名為副总统兴奋不已，她的父母都是笫一代移民，可以说是真正的新美国人，以她多族裔之背景和拜登之搭配可说是天作之合，这也更充分显示美国绝对是人人皆可出人头地的国家， 不论你来自任何国家，你都有机会成為政坛巨星及领导人。

生长在旧金山南湾的她，和当地华人社会关係十分紧密，她在多次竞选公职时也得到华人选民之大力支持。

歷史总是会记载我们移民社区在美洲大陆的奋斗歷程，希望贺锦丽的当选，再度証明公道自在人心，让我们共同来支持她吧 !
