WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden said on Thursday during a news conference that he would not have picked Kamala Harris as his vice president if she were not qualified to be president.
Biden highlighted Harris's career as a senator and a prosecutor before she was vice president, in response to a question from a reporter. He also noted that she has done well advocating for women's reproductive freedoms over the last four years.
"She is qualified to be president," Biden said. "That's why I picked her."
