Kamala Harris Says She’s Running

“Vice President Kamala Harris, who has struggled for nearly four years in President Biden’s shadow, was thrust on Sunday into the center of a remarkable political drama that could culminate with her becoming the first Black woman at the top of a major-party presidential ticket,” the New York Times reports.

Said Harris: “I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.”

“Mr. Biden’s decision to abandon his re-election bid and endorse Ms. Harris to succeed him puts her in a powerful, but not certain, position to become the new face of the Democratic Party, charged with preventing former President Donald Trump from returning to the Oval Office for another four years.”

Politico: “Biden’s endorsement gives Harris a major advantage ahead of the planned vote from convention delegates next month.”
