By picking California Sen. Kamala Harris for his running mate, Democratic nominee Joe Biden shows that he doesn't share Trump's obsession with loyalty, and is ready to go after the president on race issues and immigration.
Make no mistake: Putting a qualified person of color like Harris — whose parents are Jamaican and Indian immigrants — on the ticket is a statement against President Trump. Remember, Biden said he was spurred to run for president because of Trump's response to the racist violence in Charlottesville, Va., and lots of Americans are upset with Trump for stoking racial division.
Picking a running mate shows something about the decision-making of a potential president. Trump said he was surprised Biden picked Harris, in part, because she was"disrespectful" toward him during the primary.
