Recent significant political development, Vice President Kamala Harris announced her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination after President Joe Biden unexpectedly ended his campaign and endorsed her earlier on Sunday.
“I am honored to have the president’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination,” Harris stated in a release issued by Biden’s campaign. “Over the past year, I have traveled across the country, talking with Americans about the clear choice in this momentous election. And that is what I will continue to do in the days and weeks ahead.”
Biden’s endorsement provides Harris with a substantial advantage as the Democratic Party prepares for its convention next month, where delegates will vote on the nominee. This endorsement not only solidifies Harris’s position within the party but also sets the stage for a potentially historic election campaign.
