How people are reacting to Kamala Harris's VP nod

Democratic White House hopeful Joe Biden on Tuesday named Kamala Harris, a high-profile senator from California, as his vice presidential pick.

Here is how US politicians and celebrities have reacted to her nomination:

- Barack Obama -

Former president Barack Obama said that Biden had "nailed this decision" in a lengthy statement.

"Now Joe has an ideal partner to help him tackle the very real challenges America faces right now and in the years ahead," Obama said, calling Harris "more than prepared for the job."

He highlighted her personal and professional background, saying "She's spent her career defending our Constitution and fighting for folks who need a fair shake."

One of the women announced it. I squealed with delight. Total silence from the others. Think there is some quiet work to do ... which I already knew. These women are my dear, dear friends and I want to keep it that way. I love them all. They are bright, educated, talented, funny, lovely, caring women - just like me of course 🤣🤣. They know where I stand and I know who they voted for in 2016 😡😡😡. But we are still friends.
