US election: Picking Kamala Harris my best decision – Biden

Outgoing President of the United States, Joe Biden, has said selecting Kamala Harris as his vice president was the best decision he made.

Biden said Harris will continue the fight with purpose, determination, and joy.

Harris of the Democratic Party had lost to the Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump by a wide margin.

However, in a post on X titled “What America saw today was the Kamala Harris I know and deeply admire,” Biden wrote: “She’s been a tremendous partner and public servant full of integrity, courage, and character.

“Under extraordinary circumstances, she stepped up and led a historic campaign that embodied what’s possible when guided by a strong moral compass and a clear vision for a nation that is more free, more just, and full of more opportunities for all Americans.

“As I’ve said before, selecting Kamala was the very first decision I made when I became the nominee for president in 2020. It was the best decision I made.

“Her story represents the best of America’s story. And as she made clear today, I have no doubt that she’ll continue writing that story.

“She will continue the fight with purpose, determination, and joy. She will continue to be a champion for all Americans.

“Above all, she will continue to be a leader our children will look up to for generations to come as she puts her stamp on America’s future.”
