Kamala Harris, the politically shrewd California senator with a law enforcement background that has caused some tensions with the progressive left, was announced Tuesday as Joe Biden’s running mate. "By choosing Senator Kamala Harris as America’s next vice president, he’s underscored his own judgment and character." Choosing a running mate is arguably the most consequential decision a presidential candidate can make. Then-Sen. Barack Obama named Biden as his running mate just three days before the 2008 Democratic convention. Mike Pence as his running mate three days before the 2016 Republican convention.
