NEW YORK -- Presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Tuesday announced that Kamala Harris will be his running mate, marking the first time a Black woman has been on the ticket of a major U.S. political party.

Biden called Harris, the daughter of an immigrant Indian mother and a Jamaican father, "a fearless fighter for the little guy" and "one of the country's finest public servants" in a tweet on Tuesday.
