‘Momala’ will be a greater title to have instead of vice president, says Kamala Harris.
Along with US Presidential candidate Joe Biden, Kamala Harris made her maiden speech as the presumptive 2020 Democratic vice-presidential nominee in Wilmington.
Kamala Harris made her maiden speech as the presumptive 2020 Democratic vice-presidential candidate in Wilmington, Delaware on Wednesday. Harris, in the speech, said that it would be great to have the title ‘vice president’ to her name but “Momala” will always be the one that means the most to her.
Kamala Harris says being called “Momala” means the most:
Along with US Presidential candidate Joe Biden, Harris made her speech and weaved her personal story into the broader narrative of why she and Biden should win the race for the White House. The 55-year-old opened up about her family and revealed about her amazing stepchildren, Cole and Ella. Harris for a Mother’s Day edition of Elle magazine had said that her lawyer-husband Doug Emhoff’s kids from his first marriage started calling her “Momala”, just 18 months into their relationship. She got married in 2014. Harris said,” My family means everything to me. I have had a lot of titles in my career, and certainly, the vice president will be great. But “Momala” will always be the one that means the most.”
Joe Biden says Kamala Harris knows what it means to grow up as a Black, Indian-American in the US:
Remembering an incident that Harris had shared with him, Joe Biden said that during Harris’ campaign for the primary, she talked about the 3.00 am agenda, where moms and dads lay awake at night, worried, scared, uncertain as to how they were going to take care of their families and about how they were going to make it. Biden said that being the child of immigrants, Harris knows how immigrant families enrich the US, and the challenges of what it means to grow up as Black and Indian-American in the USA. Harris and Biden reasoned as to why they should form the country’s next administration instead of President Donald Trump.
