President Joe Biden says choosing Vice President Kamala Harris in 2020 was the best decision he made in his whole career.

Biden spoke on Tuesday at a packed arena in Chicago on the first night of the Democratic National Convention.

“Selecting Kamala was the very first decision I made when I became our nominee and it’s the best decision I made my whole career,” Biden said.

“She’s tough, she’s experienced, and she has enormous integrity.

“She’ll be a president our children can look up to. She’d be a president respected by world leaders, because she already is.

“She’d be a president we can all be proud of. And she’d be a historic president who puts her stamp on America’s future,” Biden added.

Harris thanked Biden for his historic leadership and a life of service to the nation.

“Joe, thank you for your historic leadership and for your lifetime of service to our nation and for all you continue to do,” she said. “We are forever grateful to you,” she said.

Reacting to Biden’s speech, former U.S. President, Barrack Obama said “What I admire most about Joe is his decency, his resilience, and his unshakable belief in the promise of our country.

“Over the last four years, those are the values America has needed most. I am proud to call him my president, and I’m so grateful to call him my friend.”
