Do what mother taught you: Kamala Harris's uncle

January 20, 2021 12:30

G Balachandran, the uncle of US VP-elect Kamala Harris, has this message for his niece ahead of her inauguration: "There's no message I can give, I didn't help her become VP. She did all on her own. All that I'll tell her is 'do whatever Shyamala(Kamala Harris' mother) taught you. You've been doing fine so far, keep it up.' It's all I can say."

On the eve of his inauguration, President-elect Joe Biden Tuesday led a national mourning ceremony in Washington to pay tribute to those who had died of the novel coronavirus. There were 400 lights lit at Lincoln Memorial to mark the 400,000 people who had succumbed to the virus in the country.

"It's hard sometimes to remember. But that's how we heal. It's important to do that as a nation. That's why we're here today. Between sundown and dusk, let us shine the lights in the darkness along the sacred pool of reflection and remember all whom we lost," Biden said.

Biden, 78, will take oath as the 46th president of the United States tonight.
