British actor Idris Elba said Monday that he believes Vice President Kamala Harris would be a “good” president.
Elba, who is accompanying Harris, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan, and other Biden administration officials on a tour of sub-Saharan Africa, spoke briefly with reporters about his and the administration’s work to foster development on the continent. President Joe Biden is also expected to travel to Africa later this year.

“I think that currently, when we think about Africa, and we think about African Americans, and we think about Ghana, Ghana has been for the last four or five years a sort of a meeting point for African Americans,” he stated. “Now, seeing the VP stand here and say, ‘Hey, I actually want to interface and do business and try and bridge gaps,’ I think it’s another step in the right direction.”
