A 3rd night of protests and. President ial vote which the e. U. Say is not there for. President move to shake up could face sanctions as his main rival leaves the country. Hello im terry martin good to have you with Us Democratic president ial candidate joe biden has chosen coming to harris to be his running mate in novembers election the senator from california is the 1st black woman and the 1st person of indian descent to be nominated poured National Office by a major party the decision comes a week ahead of the Democratic National convention where biden and harris will be officially confirmed. One time rivals no joining forces to launch a historic president ial bed this was how joe biden asked the california senate. To help him reach the white house opinions are divided. But that you will pick the ball over due course i have a black woman the woman the Vice President i think its a little bit risky because shes highly controversial can it be true for you in fact it was biden who welcomed the tough on crime prosecutor on to the National Political scene when she was sworn into the senate in 2017. But. From there she burnished a credential as a combats of lawmaker the president has asserted that torture works do you agree with that statement and for the last time yes or now did you have any communications with russian officials striking fear into her opponents you know im not able to be rushed this fast it makes me nervous in 2019 she ran for the democratic president ial nomination herself that campaign saw her cross examine biden over his track record on race. Joes shuttering she was hurtful. To hear you talk about the reputations of 2 United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country which characterize my position across the board i do not praise racist they have buried the hatchet when she dropped out of the race im back to him to win the nomination. Right up there on the ballot. And jump on the ballot. And saw no is horace with the rumors that the agent biden merely silva single its a landmark pick that may 1 day propel hard to become the president. Is william good croft is following the story for us and joins us now in the studio good to see you william so what does couple harris bring to joe biden Selection Campaign optics Balance Experience this is what a Vice President ial pick wants they want that to be a Vice President ial pick is always about balancing that ticket joe biden i even before the black lives matter protests and the the the the Racial Justice movement that swept the country even before that people were rolling their eyes saying democrats this is who you have for 2020 an old white man so. Has the optics of being a black woman she also has a similar ideological profile to Joe Biden Joe biden is reported to have said he didnt want anyone that would challenge him too much on the issues they basically said he wanted a Vice President president ial because someone was basically seeing eye to eye to him and she brings a lot of experience as and as a attorney general of california as a District Attorney of San Francisco for that she has she knows how to argue she knows how to craft the question and we saw in the report she knows how to ask pointed questions and joe biden was a fierce debater and thats something. Harris brings to the table joe biden had a lot of choice when it came to picking a running mate how are democrats what are democrats make of his choice here he did have a lot of choice he already promised months ago he was going to pick a woman so really that we are just looking at a field of very qualified women. Being the Vice President ial candidate now are the presumptive candidate now obviously the Democratic Party back so its not just up to joe biden who becomes his his nominee so the party is clearly behind him on this but the party is also different than the voters the democratic voters and many democratic voters especially ones further to the left of the party people who might be former Bernie Sanders supporters are highly critical of harris his record on criminal Justice Police Reform Police brutality when she was a dish of attorney in San Francisco when she was attorney general of california she was not not present but she wasnt present and people especially communities of color wanted to see her take a lot more forceful action on those very important issues to them so shes more centrist than a lot of democrats would like what about donald trump and his republicans what are they saying or do you think. Theyre already calling her a part of the radical left trumps called her phony a weak bad candidate calling her mean horrible disrespectful to joe biden during the primaries and none of this is a surprise no matter who joe biden picked these would be the adjectives applied to her its really hard to make a case that shes from the radical left and she has such a long record of working with police of working with prosecutors are working with a criminal Justice System so much so as i mentioned being criticized for being too center for being too pro police. And as far as you know their relationship during the primaries alls fair in love and president ial primaries of course they went after each other when they were vying for that candidate c. And they make they make up and now here we are so donald trump is going to face some issues with kind of harrison more specifically mike pence his. President his Vice President is going to be facing her in october for Vice President of the day because as said she is extremely good debater wherever you might stand on the issues theres no disputing that she is a very very skilled debater and questioner looking forward to those debates william good crop thank you so much.
