WHEN JOE BIDEN ADDRESSED THE NAACP CONVENTION in Las Vegas last week, one of his biggest applause lines â a line that set off chants of âFour more years!â â was when he praised Kamala Harris as ânot only a great vice-presidentâ but someone who âcould be president of the United Statesâ.
Now she has that chance. Last Sunday, when the president made the extraordinary decision to end his re-election campaign, he made a momentous choice: to offer his âfull support and endorsementâ of Harris to be the Democratic nominee and take on Donald Trump in November.
âItâs time to come together and beat Trump,â the 81-year-old president said. âLetâs do this.â
Harris, who only learned of Bidenâs decision that morning, appeared ready to take on the baton almost immediately. âI am honoured to have the presidentâs endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination,â Harris said . âI will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic party â and unite our nation â to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda.â
She offered a sense of how she plans to attack Trump in a speech to campaign staff in Wilmington, Delaware, on Monday, referring to her past of pursuing âpredatorsâ and âfraudstersâ as San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general.
âSo hear me when I say I know Donald Trumpâs type,â she said of her rival, a convicted felon who was found liable for sexual assault in civil court. Other courts have found fraud was committed in his business, charitable foundation and private university.
She also cast herself as a defender of economic opportunity and abortion access. âOur fight for the future is also a fight for freedoms,â she said. âThe baton is in our hands.â
Biden spoke by phone to the staff first, saying he would be out on the campaign trail for Harris and adding: âIâll be doing whatever Kamala Harris wants me or needs me to do.â

Celeriac soup with almond pangrattato
I'm not ashamed to say that as soon as September hits, my stick blender comes out. Just as I embrace salads when the clocks go forward in the UK, I wholeheartedly throw myself into soup season once the summer holidays end. Autumn is approaching in the northern hemisphere and I'm ready with my ladle. Celeriac is one of my favourite soup heroes, because it gives the creamiest, silkiest finish with little effort. You don't have to make the almond pangrattato, but it is a wonderful addition.
