"I know my mom and Kamala Harris would have been friends ... congratulations on being the democratic Vice President nominee," West wrote on Twitter. "... all love and respect from the future president. It's an honor to run against you."

Biden, who previously competed with Harris in the 2020 Democratic Primary, announced her as his Vice President selection earlier this week. Harris built her reputation as a tough-on-crime District Attorney in San Francisco in the 2000s. She went on to serve as the Attorney General of California from 2011 to 2017 and as a state senator in the time since. She is the first African-American and the first Asian-American vice presidential running mate selected from a major party.

"[Biden] can unify the American people because he's spent his life fighting for us. And as president, he'll build an America that lives up to our ideals," Harris tweeted after her VP nomination was announced. "I'm honored to join him as our party's nominee for Vice President, and do what it takes to make him our Commander-in-Chief."
