Kamala Harris to campaign in Cleveland Saturday....By Clevelandurbannews.com and Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, the most read Black digital newspaper in Ohio and in the Midwest
CLEVELAND, Ohio-The Joe Biden campaign has announced that vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris will campaign in Cleveland on Saturday, Harris the only Black female U.S. senator and the only Black woman to seek the 2020 Democratic nomination for president.
More specifics are forthcoming, the campaign said in a press release.
Her previously scheduled visit to Cleveland for Oct 16 was cancelled after two of her staff members contracted the coronavirus, though neither Harris nor Biden, the Democratic nominee who will face incumbent President Donald Trump for the November election, has come down with the virus.
Cleveland is a largely Black major American city that sits in Cuyahoga County, the state's second largest county, and a Democratic stronghold.
The county is roughly 29 percent Black.
Harris is the first woman of color to compete on a major party presidential ticket in America, and pundits say she is a welcome addition to Biden's presidential ticket.
A former vice president under former president Barack Obama, the nation's first Black president, Biden leads President Donald Trump in the polls nationally, and practically all of the swing states.
But the two candidates are neck and neck in Ohio as the Nov 3 presidential election nears and early voting gets underway, Ohio a pivotal state for presidential elections that has 18 electoral votes up for grabs.
A former California attorney general, Harris is native of Oakland who was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2016.
She became the fourth woman to compete on a major party presidential ticket in America behind vice presidential candidates Sarah Palin in 2008 and Geraldine Ferraro in 1984, and Hillary Clinton in 2016, Clinton a presidential candidate that year.

and have failed us by your own choosing. Whether it be in foreign
policy and domestic policy you have not protected the United States as
Commander-in Chief.
Now comes the latest news about your complete disrespect for our military
and total disregard for the Covid 19 virus. We the American people have
finally borne witness to what happens when they place an incompetent
business leader into the Oval Office. Quality of life is not a business
decision sir but rather it is a humane choice to be empathetic to those who
cannot help themselves.
Joe Biden has that empathy and will return the United States to the era when
we were respected internationally because of how we treat our citizens
domestically.
This election is a clear choice between those who have never had it so good
and those of us who know we can do better. Joe Biden will lead us there.
Fellow citizens, exercise your right to vote to preserve your sacred
heritage, promote your children’s future and obtain the blessings of liberty
we all cherish.
To restore a sense of decency to the United States rise and vote!
