Biden has praised Harris since she ended her presidential campaign in early December, despite some tense moments between the two earlier in the primary.

Shortly after she dropped out, he told reporters “of course” he would consider the senator as a running mate.

"Sen. Harris has the capacity to be anything she wants to be. I mean it sincerely,” he said at the time.

"She is solid. She can be president someday herself. She can be the vice president. She can go on to be a Supreme Court justice. She can be an attorney general. She has enormous capability," he continued.
