Kamala Harris has received widespread support from top Democrats, including governors and former rivals, following Joe Biden’s exit from the presidential race. The California senator and former vice presidential candidate has emerged as the clear frontrunner for the Democratic nomination.
Endorsements Pour In
California Governor Gavin Newsom, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper have endorsed Harris, removing themselves as potential contenders. Other notable endorsements include Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, Bill and Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. These endorsements demonstrate the broad support Harris has garnered from across the Democratic Party.
Fundraising Records Broken
Small donors have raised $46.7 million for Harris’s campaign in the hours following her launch, the biggest fundraising day of the 2024 cycle. This impressive haul demonstrates the enthusiasm and excitement surrounding Harris’s candidacy.
Delegates Fall in Line
Delegates from several states, including Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina, have pledged their support for Harris. More delegates are expected to follow, solidifying Harris’s position as the likely nominee.
Pelosi and Obama Praise Biden, But Don’t Endorse Harris… Yet
While former President Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi praised Biden for his decision to step down, they stopped short of endorsing Harris. However, their praise for Biden’s decision to clear the way for Harris suggests they may endorse her in the future.
