Top Democrats Endorse Kamala Harris As Biden Leaves Poll Race

After President Joe Biden announced his decision to step down as the party’s candidate, the chairs convened a conference call.

In a statement, the president of the Association of State Democratic Committees, Ken Martin said, “Following President Biden’s announcement, our members immediately assembled to unite behind the candidate who has a track record of winning tough elections, and who is a proven leader on the issues that matter to Americans: reproductive freedom, gun violence prevention, climate protection, justice reform, and rebuilding the economy”.

“That person is our sitting Vice President Kamala Harris”, the statement reads.

The group had favored the vice president, with one insider stating that she had full support for the top spot on the ticket.

Many Democrats swiftly backed Harris to be the party’s presidential contender against Trump in the November election, but some key party members, like former House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, remained silent.
