Shortly after Biden\u2019s comments, Harris spoke from the Ellipse in Washington, vowing to be a president who would unite the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI pledge to be a president for all Americans,\u201d said Harris, who is Biden\u2019s vice president. <\/p>\n<p>Republicans quickly highlighted Biden\u2019s remark.
