Mayor Bass rallies for Kamala Harris at DNC – Daily News

At the first day of the Democratic National Convention, Mayor Karen Bass delivered an impassioned address praising Vice President Kamala Harris’s work to uplift disadvantaged children and foster youth across America.

The two California leaders share a lot in common. As woman of color, they have both made history by rising to new political heights. And, as Bass highlighted in her speech on Monday, Aug. 19, they also share a commitment to improving the wellbeing of children.

“I’ve known Kamala Harris for almost 20 years,” said Bass. “Our bond was forged years ago by a shared commitment to children, a belief that it is everyone’s responsibility to care for every child, no matter where they come from and no matter who their parents are.”

Harris is expected to officially receive the Democrats’ nomination for president later this week. A virtual roll call of delegates placed Harris atop the ticket on Aug. 6, after President Joe Biden announced he would not run for reelection. The vote at the DNC is largely ceremonial.

Bass recalled working with Harris to address youth homelessness and reform the child welfare system when she was speaker of the State Assembly and Harris was attorney general.
