The endorsement comes as groups say youth voters are energized by Harris.
Vice President Kamala Harris during the start of her nationwide"Fight for Reproductive Freedoms" tour in Big Bend, WI, Jan. 22, 2024., will be endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election -- the first time the organization has ever endorsed a political candidate, and an indicator of the mounting youth support for the vice president.
The organization's endorsement of Harris comes as she oversees the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention and has met regularly with advocates and survivors of gun violence. "I just think young people in particular didn't really see themselves represented or reflected in the Biden ticket in the way that they wanted. It's not to say that President Biden hasn't had great accomplishments … But I think we need someone who can meet this moment and who is up to the challenge of taking Donald Trump to task and really defeating his effort to erode all of our institutions and our democracy.
Following their announcement, the group said it raised $125,000 on Sunday -- its best fundraising day ever.
