NEW YORK: An outpouring of high praise, heady emotion and a sense of collective pride among people of colour is surging across internet chatter and media coverage soon after Democratic nominee Joe Biden announced Indian American Kamala Harris as his choice of running mate to take on Donald Trump in the 2020 US election this November.
For a lot of people, the Kamala Harris pick struck a very personal chord. Not gonna lie...tears..., Vanita Gupta, former head of the Civil Rights Division in the Obama Justice Department, tweeted.
Unbelievably delighted!, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said on prime time television.
Harris, who is Black and Indian American, makes history as the first woman of colour and the first South-Asian American to be on a major party's ticket.
Biden's choice sparked predictable Slow Joe attacks from US President Donald Trump and his supporters but the Republicans are having trouble getting the message to stick.
This is the team that will lead to an American restoration once Donald Trump is gone, is how Steve Schmidt, co-founder of The Lincoln Project, hailed the Harris choice.
The Lincoln Project is run by a group of ex-Republican strategists who are now running a string of viral attack ads against Trump.
Tonight we see again the promise of the American dream, Schmidt told NBC after Harris' announcement.
