“Democratic nominee Joe Biden may be in the last days of a heated presidential campaign, but that didn’t stop him from wishing his running mate a happy birthday. Kamala Harris turned 56 on Tuesday and the former vice president tweeted a birthday message to, possibly, the future one. Spoiler alert: Biden suggested next year’s birthday might be a little more extravagant. Happy Birthday, @KamalaHarris. Next year, let’s celebrate with some ice cream at the White House. pic.twitter.com/SWhS32AaIE— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) Oktober 20, 2020 Other people joined Biden in wishing a happy birthday to Harris.
