Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign raised nearly $50 million within 15 hours after President Joe Biden exited the presidential race and endorsed her. Harris swiftly garnered support from Democratic delegates following Biden’s announcement.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other prominent Democratic leaders, including governors and caucus chairs, endorsed Harris. More than 700 delegates have pledged their support, putting Harris closer to securing the Democratic nomination.
Harris praised Biden’s “selfless and patriotic act” and vowed to unite the Democratic Party. She is now focused on preparing for the Democratic National Convention in August, where she aims to solidify her nomination and campaign strategy.
