Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi became the latest high-profile Democrat to back Vice President Kamala Harris for the party's nomination, one day after President Joe Biden announced he was exiting the presidential race."Today, it is with immense pride and limitless optimism for our country's future that I endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for President of the United States," Pelosi wrote.
As President Biden faced pressure from a handful of Democrats to exit the race, Pelosi was seen as a key figure in the internal discussions. In media appearances following last month's presidential debate that prompted a lot of angst among Democrats, Pelosi carefully threaded a needle between supporting President Biden and encouraging him to exit the race.
