Democrats Rally Behind Kamala Harris

In a powerful show of unity, the two leading Democrats in Congress officially endorsed Kamala Harris as their party’s presidential candidate yesterday. Following her acquisition of the necessary delegate commitments, Harris has solidified her position as the nominee. Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Hakeem Jeffries, both prominent figures in the Democratic Party, delayed their endorsement to ensure that they did not appear to manipulate the selection process.

“Now that the process has unfolded from the grassroots level, we are here today to announce our unwavering support for Vice President Kamala Harris,” Schumer stated during a joint press conference in Washington, D.C.

At her rally in Wisconsin, Harris captivated an enthusiastic crowd, drawing on her background as a prosecutor. She emphasized her experience in holding fraudsters and cheaters accountable, asserting that she understands “Donald Trump’s type.” Harris also celebrated her campaign’s remarkable fundraising success, having secured over $100 million in contributions since Sunday. This achievement allowed her to take a moment of triumph as she effectively wrapped up the Democratic presidential nomination within just 48 hours.

• Trump: Observers note that Harris’s candidacy could provoke the former president’s inclination to launch personal attacks against female opponents.
• Biden: President Biden announced he will address the nation tonight for the first time since concluding his re-election campaign.
