Case Comments on Selection of Senator Kamala Harris as Vice President Joe Biden’s Choice to be His Running Mate
Washington,
August 11, 2020
(Honolulu, HI) - Congressman Ed Case (HI-01) commented as follows on former Vice President Joe Biden’s selection today of United States Senator Kamala Harris as his Vice-Presidential running mate in November’s general election: “Vice President Biden made a very difficult choice from among an incredibly talented pool of candidates, and he chose very well. “I believe any candidate for Vice President must meet three critical criteria. “First, the candidate must have the knowledge, experience, temperament, commitment to our Constitution and laws and other qualities necessary to serve as our country’s Vice President. Second, the candidate must be a full partner to the President, devoted to assisting him or her in the critical responsibilities of governing our country and leading our world in a critical time. Third, in the worst-case scenario, the candidate must be able to assume the responsibilities of President at a moment’s notice. “Senator Harris fully meets all of these criteria, and I fully support Vice President Biden’s choice.” ###
