Washington:
Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris turned 56 on Tuesday, and the party’s presidential candidate, Joe Biden, greeted her on the big day and said they would celebrate her next birthday in the White House.
Joe Biden took to Twitter to post a photo showing their hands clasped.
“Happy birthday, Kamala Harris. Next year let’s celebrate with ice cream at the White House,” tweeted Biden, who in August had chosen her as his running mate.
If elected, she would be the first female vice president of the United States. Biden will celebrate his 78th birthday next month.

October 20 is also the birthday of his niece, Meena Harris.
“I couldn’t let the day go by without wishing my niece, Meena, a happy birthday too!” she said.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton greeted Kamala Harris on her birthday.
“In two weeks, we could call this birthday girl Mrs. Vice President,” said Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, as she asked people to come out to vote.
“Happy Birthday to @KamalaHarris! Celebrate this great day by voting for the #BidenHarris ballot and Democrats up and down the ballot,” said Sabrina Singh, spokeswoman for the Democratic vice presidential candidate.
“Happy Birthday @KamalaHarris! I hope they fill you with love on your special day,” tweeted former first lady Michelle Obama.
“The best way to celebrate Kamala is by making sure you are registered and have a voting plan at http://iwillvote.com. And once you do, share how you are voting with us!” she said.
Later that night, Harris held a virtual fundraiser with Senators Tom Udall, Congressmen Ruben Gallego, Mark Kelly, and Gabby Giffords.
“Joe and I are very proud of the fact that we have built one of the broadest coalitions we have ever seen, bringing together, of course, Democrats, Independents and Republicans, bringing together leaders from across the spectrum, including, I must say, the great Cindy, McCain, and so many others who are standing up saying “look, we have to fight for our country,” Harris said in his comments during the virtual fundraiser.
Harris also participated in a virtual rally in Milwaukee to kick off the first day of early voting in person in Wisconsin.
Former second lady Jill Biden tweeted a “happy birthday” graphic overlaying a photo of herself with Harris.
Her husband Doug Emhoff sent his birthday wish on Instagram.
“Blind date, love at first sight, marriage, family and an amazing life together. Regardless, whatever happens, she is ALWAYS there for me and our family without hesitation. Happy birthday to my amazing wife @kamalaharris ! “
“And your birthday wish … VOTE BEFORE!” Emhoff also reminded people of his wife’s wish.
