Welcoming Kamala Harris to Miami



Kamala Harris makes unannounced visit to Doral, home to Miami’s Venezuelan community

Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris visited Doral, home to Miami’s largest concentration of Venezuelans, during her first South Florida campaign visit as Joe Biden’s running mate on Thursday.

Harris stopped at Amaize, a Venezuelan fast-casual restaurant in a strip mall a few blocks from President Donald Trump’s golf resort in Doral...

Harris, wearing a mask to prevent COVID-19 transmission, was greeted at the restaurant by CNN commentator Ana Navarro and Democratic Florida state Sen. Annette Taddeo. Navarro, a Republican originally from Nicaragua, is a Biden supporter who has hosted Latino roundtables for the campaign in Florida and Wisconsin...

Harris dropped in a few Spanish words during her restaurant visit. She introduced her husband, Doug Emhoff, as “mi esposo,” Spanish for “my husband.” And when she was welcomed, she responded, “Gracias. Good to be here.”

Harris ordered arepas — grilled corn cakes stuffed with fillings — for lunch.

Harris will host the Miami Gardens event with Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson while Emhoff attends a roundtable at the Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center with local rabbis and Jewish Democrats, U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Miami-Dade Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava, who is running for Miami-Dade mayor.
