This development follows President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the presidential race, stating it is in the best interest of the party and the country.
Biden’s endorsement of Harris includes his full support for her candidacy in the November 5 presidential election. In her statement, Harris emphasized her commitment to earning and winning the nomination, and her dedication to uniting the Democratic Party and the country to defeat Donald Trump.
She expressed her deep gratitude to Biden for his leadership and service, highlighting their personal and professional connection through Biden’s late son, Beau.
Harris also pointed out Biden’s qualities of honesty, integrity, and dedication to faith, family, and country. She noted the significance of Biden’s selfless act of stepping down, which she described as putting the American people and the country above everything else.
She reaffirmed her intention to continue engaging with Americans and addressing the critical choices in the upcoming election.
Harris emphasized the urgency of uniting the Democratic Party and the nation to counter Trump’s agenda and expressed confidence in their collective ability to achieve victory. “We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win,” she concluded.
