Biden announced Harris as his pick for vice president yesterday.

Biden who tweeted the prelude to his first joint campaign outing with Harris this afternoon, with Fela’s music playing in the background, wrote, “This afternoon, @KamalaHarris and I will be speaking together for the first time since yesterday’s big announcement. Tune in.”
