“My wife Jill Biden wanted to be here, but she is travelling to Wisconsin, and Kamala (Harris) is travelling as well. You know, I selected Kamala to be my running mate for many reasons. She’s smart, she’s tough, she’s trusted… There’s more experience that she has than the whole of that other guy she’s running against. But most importantly, she has character, ” he said.

Biden highlighted a personal connection with Harris, mentioning how both share a bond over the influence of their mothers in their lives.

“One thing we both bonded over was the role each of our mothers played in their lives,” he said.
