John,

No one knows the job of vice president like Joe Biden, which is why he chose someone with the experience -- and the fortitude -- to serve as a true partner. By teaming up with Kamala Harris, Joe Biden shows us what kind of president he will be: one who prioritizes competence, listens to different viewpoints, embraces diversity and builds teams with strong leaders. We need those values back in the White House more urgently than ever.

Mike will be speaking at the Democratic National Convention next week and sharing why we have the best candidates to meet today's challenges and get big things done. This week, he wrote about the strengths Senator Harris brings, especially on issues that will be critical for the incoming administration:

Joe Biden knows that an effective vice president is someone who offers fresh perspectives -- and will stand up and say exactly what she thinks. As Mike wrote in his article, "Harris has the guts to do that for Biden, just as Biden did it for Obama. It may be the single most important role that a vice president can play. And over the past four years, we have seen what happens when a vice president insists that a naked emperor is fully clothed."

That's just one of the many reasons Mike says Kamala Harris was the right choice for Joe to make. Read now and share with your networks:
