At least 5 #Democratic #senators are voicing support for Vice President #KamalaHarris as the new Democratic presidential nominee after #POTUS #Biden ended his reelection campaign.
They include Sens. Tammy Baldwin (Wis.), Mark R. Warner (Va.), Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), Tim Kaine (Va.) & Patty Murray (Wash.).
Current & former #DNC members are adding their names to an open letter endorsing Vice President #KamalaHarris to become the party’s presidential nominee.
The document cites the members’ belief that the “strongest candidate for #President, who can best offer a clear, unifying vision for the future of the #UnitedStates,” is #Harris.
The #CongressionalBlackCaucus is expected to endorse Vice President #KamalaHarris for #president, Chairman Steven Horsford (D-Nev.) said in an interview.
#Harris, a former #CBC member when serving in the Senate, called Horsford this afternoon after #Biden endorsed his running mate & confirmed to him that she would run for #POTUS.
Former vice president #AlGore said he applauded President #Biden’s decision to drop out of the race, calling the move “selfless.” “He helped our nation navigate a global #pandemic, ushered in an #economic recovery that has created good-paying #jobs for Americans across the country, & restored America’s standing abroad,” Gore said in a statement.
