The announcement by Biden to withdraw from the re-election race and nominate Kamala Harris for the Presidential run that shook up the recent political landscape in the United States. This was met by support and skepticism by public and opposition members.
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has officially shown her support to the Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid for the presidency. Pelosi, who had remained mum on Harris’s candidacy since President Joe Biden withdrew his re-election bid, finally broke her silence on Monday, giving her stamp of approval for Harris to take the helm of the party.
In her statement, Pelosi said that she was “enthused” to back Harris’s efforts to lead the Democratic Party, a vote of confidence that could bolster Harris’.
“Proudly and eagerly, I am delighted to announce my full hearted support for Kamala Harris as she vies for president in the United States. This endorsement is derived from the respect I have for her as a leader and that she is the most-suited candidate for our nation’s destiny. A leader of consequence within the Democratic Party, I feel greatly privileged to back her campaign and join millions of Americans who are lining up behind her candidacy, stated Nancy Pelosi.
Pelosi, an ardent champion of diversity and unity within the Democratic Party, stated the following: “In the Democratic Party, diversity is our strength and unity is our power. So let’s all unite together and charge ahead boldly against Donald Trump to defeat him completely once and for all so as to gleefully install Kamala Harris as our nation’s next President.” Pelosi thus called upon everyone to fight in order that we may have a brighter future with Vice President Harris.
Pelosi paid tribute to the outgoing president as she praised Biden by saying “President Joe Biden has been a true godsend for our country. I am humbled and grateful for the chance to have worked under him in this period of great history, where he showed his passion about greatness that America holds. As one of America’s most transformative leaders, President Biden will be remembered not just as a politician but also a dreamer who believed in America’s potential.”
In just one day upon announcing Kamala Harris has already achieved over half of the votes needed to win a majority in Democratic Primaries and she set a record for fundraising on her announcement broadcast. Harris entered the campaign to a show of force, with top-tier Democrats falling in line behind her and sending Trump a warning that she will be ready for re-election.
In a demonstration of the burgeoning support for Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton added their names to the rapidly expanding list of political heavyweights sharing their weight behind her candidacy.
They became the latest in a litany of big-name Democrats to throw their support for Vice President Kamala Harris, whose list of political support continues to grow.
Former President Bill Clinton and Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton commended the president for his “steadfast leadership” in a joint statement, while confirming that they were looking forward to joining him in endorsing Vice President Harris.
“From the day he took office, Joe Biden has never wavered in that commitment to the American people and urging us all before ourselves,” they added
Kamala Harris swept through the Democratic Party as a staggering 1,200 pledged delegates publicly committed to back her at the party’s convention, vaulting her past the halfway mark of the 1,976 delegates she needed to secure the nomination.
In a remarkably short span of time, Harris has garnered the backing of more than half of the delegates she needs, signaling her immense political strength and the depth of her support from within the Democratic Party.
