BIDEN: “Alright.”
HARRIS: “Hi, hi, hi, hi, sorry to keep you.”
BIDEN: “That’s alright. You ready to go to work?”
HARRIS: “Oh my God. I am so ready to go to work.”
HARRIS (voice over): “I was raised to take action. My mother knew that she was raising two black daughters who would be treated differently because of how they looked. Growing up, whenever I got upset about something, my mother would look me in the eye and ask: ‘So what are you going to do about it?’ That’s why when I saw a broken justice system, I became a lawyer to try and fix it. It’s why during the foreclosure crisis, I took on the big banks as California’s attorney general. It’s why as United States senator, I have fought to represent people like my mother. People who politicians often overlook or don’t take seriously. Right now, America needs action. In the middle of a pandemic, the president is trying to rip away health care. While small businesses closed, he’s given breaks to his wealthy donors. And when the people cried out for support, he tear gassed them. America is in a crisis, and I know Joe Biden will lead us out of it. He’s a man of faith, decency and character. He raised his family that way. I saw it first-hand with my good friend, Beau. As Joe says, we’re in a battle for the soul of this nation. But together it’s a battle we can win. We just have to take action.”
BIDEN: “First of all, is the answer yes?”
HARRIS: “The answer is absolutely yes, Joe. And I am ready to work. I am ready to do this with you, for you. I — I’m just — I’m just deeply honored, and I’m very excited.”
