Vice President Kamala Harris posted a video of her calling Joe Biden to announce her victory in the 2020 US election.
In the video, she said, We did it, Joe. She congratulated Mr. Joe Biden on his election as US president and congratulated the success of their campaign.
The video was recorded by Kamala Harris' husband, Mr. Doug Emhoff, according to an assistant of hers revealed to CNN.
In addition to the video, Kamala Harris also shared another on Twitter saying that there is a lot of work to do after being elected.
On November 7, Mr. Joe Biden and Ms. Kamala Harris both updated their biographies on Twitter as President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
With her victory in the 2020 US election, Kamala Harris made history as the first woman of color to be elected vice president of the United States. The 56-year-old California Senator is also the first South Asian to be elected vice president.
AP said that as the highest-ranking woman ever elected to the US government, Kamala Harris' victory has given hope to women who were disappointed after Ms. Hillary Trump's defeat in the US presidential election 4 years ago.
Ms. Harris has been a rising star in Democratic politics for the past two decades. She was a San Francisco district attorney and California Attorney General before becoming a US Senatewoman.
After Ms. Harris stopped her campaign as the Democratic presidential candidate, Mr. Joe Biden chose her as a joint candidate.
AP assessed that Ms. Harris' choice as a joint candidate is significant because he is the oldest US president to ever hold office, at the age of 78 and has not committed to running for a second term in 2024.
Mr. Joe Biden and Ms. Harris will be sworn in as US presidents and vice presidents on January 20, 2021.
