Since the (EXCITING!!) news broke that @KamalaHarris would be going back on the campaign trail with @JoeBiden, I've been reflecting about the times we ran into her on the road last year as I was traveling around with @CoryBooker. (A happy, heartwarming thread.)
Often at events we would be told that we'd be arriving/passing thru/holding an area at the same time as another candidate. Sometimes it would be a total surprise! However, EVERY time we ran into @KamalaHarris I was stoked because it meant that Cory was about to be PUMPED.
The two are good, good friends, and they would take every moment they could to sneak out of view together to whisper, catch up, and laugh. Even if the moment was brief they'd have a joyful, often hilarious reunion. Cory would yell across a room full of people "That's my sister!"
Once at an event I lost @CoryBooker for a second (as candidates do tend to wander 😂). I found him backstage with @KamalaHarris who was about to go on, and they were gassing each other up and telling each other things like "you got this. you're gonna bring that house down."
It was a privilege — truly — to witness their friendship and the beautiful humanity of it. Working in politics is rough. It can make you become cynical and forget that we're in this arena together for PEOPLE and our love for them.
It was being able to document the moments like this that filled me back up and sustained my belief in why we were in this fight. After a year of getting to work so closely to @CoryBooker, our whole road team came to really love @KamalaHarris because where she is, joy is too.
I am so happy for @KamalaHarris. She will be an excellent Vice President — not just because she is tough, smart, and can bring the fight we need in this election, but because she will lead with thoughtful empathy and joy.
I'm ready and excited for the election. @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris are going to win and make history. Let's get to work.
