– Joe Biden has chosen California Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate, and social media posts are making the rounds claiming she’s ineligible to be vice president because her parents were born outside the US. In fact, Biden hasn’t made his pick yet, and he announced Harris as his running mate Tuesday afternoon, CNN reports. The claims that Harris is ineligible because of her parents’ immigration status “remain false,” according to Reuters, which has a fact-check of the claims here.
