Kamala Harris appeared together for the first time as a joint Democratic ticket Wednesday in Wilmington, Delaware, with a clear general election message: President Donald Trump is a purveyor of crisis.

“America is crying out for leadership, yet we have a president who cares more about himself than the people who elected him,” Harris said after being introduced by Biden.

Biden pledged to pick a woman as his running mate in March.

“Instead of doing the hard work, of meeting face to face with congressional leaders, Democrats and Republicans in the White House like every other president has done in a crisis to get Americans the relief they need and deserve, Trump is on the golf course,” Biden said in reference to the stalled coronavirus relief negotiations between congressional Democrats and the White House.

In federal office, Harris, who was elected to the Senate in 2016, was known for her role in high-profile Senate hearings, specifically her questioning of former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and Attorney General Bill Barr, which Biden referenced in his remarks Wednesday.

Both Harris and Biden referred to the closeness of their families, particularly Harris’ past friendship and work with Biden’s revered son Beau, the former Delaware attorney general who died of brain cancer in 2015?

Beau Biden and Harris worked together negotiating with banks during the 2011 and 2012 foreclosure crisis — a partnership that reportedly weighed heavily in Biden’s decision to pick Harris as his running mate.
