President Joe Biden has thrown his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris to become the next Democratic nominee for president after announcing Sunday he is dropping out of the race.
Vice President Kamala Harris has President Joe Biden’s support to become the next Democratic presidential nominee, a mantle that would make her the first Black woman and first Asian American to lead the ticket of a major political party. Harris said she was “honored” to receive Biden’s endorsement and intends to “earn and win” the nomination. “I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination,” she said in a statement.
“We have been whipping delegates for the last week,” a senior Democratic strategist who worked on Harris’ 2020 campaign told CNN. Her network of backers includes a number of key Black female Democratic allies who have been quietly organizing for weeks to ensure that she would be well positioned to lead the ticket if Biden stepped aside. Those women will meet in a Zoom call Sunday evening. “The bottom line is, we are ready to go,” said Brown of Black Voters Matter.
