Democratic presidential candidate, Barack Obama’s vice president Joe Biden selected California Senator Kamala Harris as his vice-presidential running mate on Tuesday. Harris, 55, is the first Black woman and the first person of Indian heritage to be chosen for a presidential ticket. She is the fourth woman in US history to run on the presidential ticket.

The two candidates will appear together in Wilmington, Del on Wednesday. In choosing Harris as his running mate, Biden is effectively paving the way for another presidential run by Sen. Harris, who dropped out of the 2020 presidential primary race in December, 2019.

Daughter of Immigrant Academics

Sen. Harris was raised in Oakland and Berkeley, California — the daughter of two academics: an Indian-American mother and a father from Jamaica. The vice presidential candidate attended Howard University in Washington, DC and was the Attorney General of California before being elected to the Senate in 2016 as the second Black woman.

Fierce Debate and Analytical Skills

Kamala Harris is generally considered to be highly well-informed with a deep knowledge base on a wide variety of critical issues. Her Senate Judiciary questioning of prospective Trump Attorney General Bill Barr went digital and has never failed to inspire Democrats. It’s an understatement to say that Harris has strong debate and fierce prosecutorial skills. Donald Trump should be happy that he will not face Sen. Kamala Harris on the debate stage.

With $6 million of support from Bloomberg Philanthropies, Chef José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen launches today food service operations at two NYC locations, with a plan to be functioning across 16 NYC Health + Hospitals facilities by Monday, April 27. According to the press release:

The collaboration will feed all NYC Health + Hospitals hospital, acute, and post-acute care staff plus additional personnel who have joined their ranks at these facilities, regardless of their department, discipline, or tour, seven days a week, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. from a uniquely designed grab-and-go "cafeteria." World Central Kitchen and NYC Health + Hospitals have strategized a variety of internal and external set-ups tailored to each individual facility's needs, ensuring that the highest safety standards are met, frontline workers experience little to no wait for meal dissemination, and that food is available to staff who work overnight shifts. The partnership aims to also meet workers' dietary restrictions with as little burden as possible.

Through its #ChefsForAmerica response to COVID-19, World Central Kitchen has been distributing 50,000 meals a day in the Bronx, Queens, Harlem, Brooklyn and New Jersey. The new partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies will allow World Central Kitchen to increase production at their meal distribution center at Hudson Yards and establish contracts with local vendors and restaurants to assist in providing thousands of additional fresh meals for the NYC Health + Hospitals staff.

In addition to supporting NYC’s hungry, exhausted healthcare workers, the initiative will allow some local restaurants to bring back employees in s first step to revive the ailing NYC restaurant industry.
