He recently spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, on a night with the theme of bringing “bold vision” to America’s future and a new generation of Democratic leadership.
During his speech he talked about he and Harris’ blended family and told the story of how he and Harris met and how she is a beloved stepmother to his son and daughter. “She’s always been there for our children, and I know she’ll always be there for yours too. Kamala is a joyful warrior,” he said. “Here’s the thing about joyful warriors: They’re still warriors. And Kamala is as tough as it comes.”
