A new Coronavirus Vaccine one some say was approved too quickly. Others call out to their loved ones among the thousands locked up since the disputed election in belarus and from immersive tours to surface safaris people are finding ways to travel without going too far. And calmly harris have appeared on stage together for the 1st time as running mates and their race against president obama trying for the white house they presented themselves as the team to lead the u. S. Through the coronavirus pandemic and the National Anger over racism mike hanna reports from washington d. C. Harriss life is about to change now in the media spotlight as she leaves her home in d. C. On her way to appear with joe biden my fellow americans. And let me to do is to you for the 1st time your next Vice President i and states comma parents problema floors you are. Come a harris said built a reputation as one of the most formidable choices in the senate and she went straight on the attack against a president who she says has failed the country during this time a pandemic and whom she accuses of responsibility for the fact that an american dies off cope at 19 every 80 seconds this virus has impacted almost every country but theres a reason it has hit america worse than any other advanced nation its because of trumps failure to take it seriously from the start earlier there were harsh words from joe biden about President Trumps response to his nominee as Vice President donald trump has already started his attacks calling commack wrote nasty whiny about how shes quote mean to his appointee she says its no surprise because whining is where donald trump does best better than any president American History is anyone surprised entreprise a problem with a strong woman or strong women across the board President Trump says he did not watch the briefing but again expressed surprise dead joe bidens choice of someone who shopped he attacked him during the Democratic Party president ial primaries. She said horrible things about him horrible things. And she mocked him. Openly mocked him thats why i thought that was a very risky pick because im sure that will be played back not necessarily by me but others it will be played back there would be president and his running mate have now got their Campaign Underway a campaign that in this time of social distancing and measures will be very different from any of the 55 year old has run before mike hanna aljazeera d washington. Promise a former Obama Administration official and the Democratic Party strategist who told us the biden harris debut has set a high bar for the rest of the campaign. Really laid out the narrative that will we should expect to see between now and election day i think you really put together a contrast between what well see between a Biden Harrison ministration and their leadership that weve seen under a trump pensive ministers i also think it was damning in terms of the indictment against donald trump and his failed leadership in the school and i think the way that senator harris laid out her arguments related to the millions of jobs lost to the u. S. Response inadequate response to this Global Pandemic compared to the rest of the events world i think it also was really a moment in which there can be very few moments between now and election day this Day Convention did in which you have all eyes on this ticket and i think they will use that moment very practically the fact that she is a black woman of Indian Heritage is really exciting because weve never seen this type of diversity at the top of a National Ticket and i think it one of the most powerful things that were said today was and this was something that senator harris said joe biden is the one man that can say that he served with the 1st black president of United States and he is the 1st and only person i can say he did that and he has chosen a black woman to be his Vice President and this is truly powerful especially when you look at the role that black voters will play in november earlier we heard how come a harris lashed out at donald trump for his handling of the pandemic the u. S.
