"I told my daughter today that @kamalaharris would be the first woman Vice President in the history of this country. She jumped and screamed for joy. I could see in her face that even at 5, she understood this is a very big deal. There is a lot of work to be done, but tonight we celebrate hope and possibilities. The knot in my stomach that has grown over the years as I have watched the way our current President has treated women and been supported and applauded for it, has temporarily subsided. I am hopeful for a future where those in power treat women with respect. Congratulations @joebiden and @kamalaharris"
