Biden, Harris launch campaign with call to 'rebuild' post-Trump US
Aug 12, 2020
Biden, speaking alongside Harris in his Delaware hometown of Wilmington, said it was time after one term of President Donald Trump to "rebuild this country."
"Everything we care about," Harris said, "it's all on the line."
Harris -- a 55-year-old senator who would also be the first woman elected to the White House if the Democratic duo wins -- pummeled the Republican president, saying he "just isn't up for the job."
Harris, the daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants to the United States, also sought to tap into the nationwide upheaval over police violence and racial disparities.
"We're experiencing a moral reckoning with racism and systemic injustice that has brought a new coalition of conscience to the streets of our country demanding change," she said.
And referring to her courtroom experience as a veteran prosecutor and California attorney general, Harris said of the president and his vice president: "The case against Donald Trump and Mike Pence is open and shut."
Trump and Pence have left the country "in tatters," she said.
Biden, who leads in polls against Trump despite running his campaign almost entirely from his Delaware home due to the coronavirus shutdown, said the president had failed to lead through the crisis.
But the 77-year-old promised that he and Harris, who had sought the Democratic presidential nomination herself before rallying to his side, would fix "the mess that President Trump and Vice President Pence have created at home and abroad."
