Many celebrities welcomed and celebrated presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden's decision to choose Kamala Harris as his vice presidential nominee. Many Hollywood celebrities were seen expressing their approval for the pick. 

Kerry Washington took to Twitter to share, "Overwhelmed by this historic moment. @KamalaHarris is the first Black woman & first Asian-American/Indian to be a VP nominee of major party. My heart is soaring for all the kids out there who see themselves in her and will dream bigger because of this. #KamalaHarrisForVP."

His 'Black Panther' co-star Lupita Nyong'o also followed suit and shared the same. Halle Berry weighed in and added, "History has been made! Congratulations to @KamalaHarris, daughter to Jamaican & Indian parents, and the first woman of color on a major party's presidential ticket!! #KamalaHarrisForVP." 



 



 

Former President Barack Obama had taken to Instagram to share his thoughts on Biden's decision to choose Kamala Harris as the next possible vice president. Obama had written, "@JoeBiden nailed this decision. By choosing Senator @KamalaHarris as America’s next vice president, he’s underscored his own judgment and character. Reality shows us that these attributes are not optional in a president. They’re requirements of the job. And now Joe has an ideal partner to help him tackle the very real challenges America faces right now and in the years ahead."

"I’ve known Senator Harris for a long time. She is more than prepared for the job. She’s spent her career defending our Constitution and fighting for folks who need a fair shake. Her own life story is one that I and so many others can see ourselves in: a story that says that no matter where you come from, what you look like, how you worship, or who you love, there’s a place for you here. It’s a fundamentally American perspective, one that’s led us out of the hardest times before. And it’s a perspective we can all rally behind right now," Obama added.  He also said that he and his wife, Michelle Obama, were thrilled with the decision before saying, " Now let’s go win this thing."

Many social media users also commented on the news of Harris' getting chosen with delight. One user shared, "I loooove Kamala, what many forget, we all are working women out here in the Suburbs, these are the Generations of having it all! Kamala speaks to us! Tough, Smart able to have it all! Trump is the Men we’ve been fighting for years! I am Woman Get Out of The F**kin Way!" 



 

"History made! Congratulations to @KamalaHarris for being chosen as @JoeBiden running mate. As we get ready for the fight ahead let’s take a moment to celebrate and appreciate that a Black woman could have a seat at the most powerful table in America @supermajority," another user added.
