Obama endorses Kamala Harris |
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden July 19 endorsed California Attorney General Kamala Harris to be the state`s next U.S. senator.The president called Harris "a lifelong courtroom prosecutor with only one client: the people of the state of California." Kamala`s experience has taught her that if one is going to give everybody a fair shot, one has got to take on the special interests that too often stand in the way of progress . Obama added that Harris "fights for us."The dual endorsements represent a political coup for the Indian American candidate, who faces fellow Democrat Loretta Sanchez, a 10-term congresswoman, in November. This is to recall that Harris and the president are longtime friends. In 2013, Obama apologized to her after telling a group of wealthy donors in Silicon Valley that she is the "best-looking attorney general."Biden said the Senate "needs people like her — leaders who will always fight to make a difference and who never forget where they come from."
