Washington : Vice President-elect Kamala Harris has said that she and President-elect Joe Biden are ready to write the “next chapter” in American history and from day one they would start building an economy that benefits the working families.
Tackling COVID-19 pandemic, economic recovery, racial equality and climate change are the four top priorities the Biden team listed on its website on Sunday, a day after the Democrat leaders won the bitter and closely-fought November 3 presidential election – billed as one of the most divisive in recent American history.
“Biden and I are ready to write the next chapter in our nation’s history, Harris said in a tweet on Monday.
On day one, we’re going to get to work building an economy that works for working families, she said, listing out the priorities of the Biden-Harris administration.
As Biden’s vice president, Harris, 56, will make history in myriad ways, becoming the first woman – and the first woman of colour – to occupy the office.
According to the Economic Recovery of the Transition, President-elect Biden believes to his core that there’s no greater economic engine in the world than the hard work and ingenuity of the American people.
