If she receives enough support, Kamala Harris might replace Joe Biden as the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate. So, who supports the vice president?
Former President Obama has not endorsed Kamala Harris to succeed Joe Biden as the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate.
Instead of endorsing the vice president, he said, “I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges.”
So, who supports Kamala Harris?
After stepping down, Mr Biden backed Ms Harris to succeed him, saying, “I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be our party’s nominee this year.” Democrats, it’s time to band together and defeat Trump.”
Ms Harris responded, saying, “I am honored to have the President’s endorsement, and I intend to earn and win this nomination.”
Soon after, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton joined Biden in supporting her, claiming that this was the best way to prevent Donald Trump from returning to the White House for a second term as president.
We’ve been through many ups and downs, but nothing has made us more concerned about our country than the threat posed by a second Trump administration,” their statement said.
