beirut thousands remember the victims of the deadly pause explosion one week ago this as angry crowds were new calls for the president's resignation. i'm told me a lot of well it's good to have you with us the u.s. democrats presidential candidate joe biden has selected kamler harris to be his running mate for november's election the senator from california is the 1st black woman to be a major party's candidate for vice president the decision comes a week ahead of the democratic national convention where biden and harris will be officially confirm to challenge president donald trump and his v.p. mike pence for the white house. let's will indeed be a correspondent in a poll who joins us from new york in new jersey is this

a surprise choice. well yes and no you know many people really speculated that she would become the v.p. pick of joe biden because i mean she's very qualified she is african american plus her mother is from india. but some people thought that joe biden might not pick her because she really was criticizing him really harshly on the come pain trail but by the end of the day he obviously picture ok tell us more about the. vice presidential candidate. so you know she is very energetic people hold democrats hope i shall say that she gives this energy to the campaign of joe biden which is lacking a little bit of exactly that she's a very evil know and she is highly respected among many politicians and she's very

bill connected but as a prosecutor is she also was really for strong law enforcement so that it could backfire a little bit on her. how does this overall effect impact biden's bid for the white house. well it will most definitely increase his chances to get elected she is the 1st and therefore this is really a historic moment she is the 1st blank page from a major party she obviously joe biden hopes that she will gain votes from the african-american community also from other minorities she's a woman obviously so he hopes that she reaches out to women and this is actually not really reported she's also an interfaith candidate her mother was hidden to her husband is jewish and she'll selves called her

a baptist so she's really reaching out to different religious communities and this is always an important case here in the united states and considering harris and biden repeatedly clashed primary election debates what kind of a partnership will this be. well both of them are really professionals there are many many years in politics and joe biden gave himself a lot himself a long time to pick his candidate so i'm sure that he overcame any grudges he'll have held against her it will be a very professional relationship and i actually think that joe biden will use the power and the knowledge of his cabinet much more than other presidents did before so i'm expecting a very good political relationship between the 2 of them. correspondent thank you.
