Biden and Harris' tiff

Biden had previously hinted that Harris would be his choice for running mate or Supreme Court justice when he had highlighted that his choice for VP would be 'probably woman and preferably of colour'. While Harris enjoys a very good relationship with Biden's son Beau Biden, she had publically faced off Joe Biden in one of the Democratic presidential debates for opposing federally mandated busing during the 1960s and the 1970s. Reports state that Harris and Beau were attorneys general of California and Delaware, respectively, at the same time.

While the race is clearly between Biden and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, several other presidential candidates - Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Senator Amy Klobuchar, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Beto O'Rourke and former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg dropped out of the presidential race. While Buttigieg, Bloomberg, Klobuchar and O'Rourke have backed Biden, Warren is yet to back anyone. The Democratic nominee will face incumbent President Donald Trump in November 2020 for the US Presidential bid.
