Kamala Harris-backed as Democratic candidate

Vice President Kamala Harris has officially secured enough delegates to earn the Democratic Party's nomination for the presidential candidacy, expressing gratitude to President Biden and the party for their support. While the delegate count is unofficial, Harris is poised to become the official nominee during the Democratic Party Convention scheduled for August 19 in Chicago. She is currently focused on garnering endorsements from delegates and will need to select a running mate if she wins the nomination. Former Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has publicly endorsed Harris, while ex-President Barack Obama has yet to announce his preferred candidate. President Biden, who recently announced his withdrawal from the 2024 race, has pledged to campaign vigorously for Harris, stating, "I'm going to be out there on the campaign with her." He emphasized his commitment to achieving as much as possible during his remaining months in office. Biden's endorsement of Harris comes amid concerns about a potential second term for Donald Trump, with both Biden and Harris urging party unity to secure a victory in the upcoming election. Biden's campaign has officially transitioned to "Harris for President," as confirmed by the Federal Election Commission, marking a significant shift in the political landscape. Support for Harris continues to grow, with notable figures like Senator Elizabeth Warren expressing confidence in her ability to challenge Trump effectively. As the Democratic Party prepares for the convention, the focus remains on consolidating support behind Harris to strengthen the party's chances in the 2024 presidential election.
