‘My Goal is to Succeed and Win’: Harris Seek Democratic Nomination Following Biden’s Withdrawal

Washington: Vice President Kamala Harris declared on Sunday that she would run for the Democratic nomination in 2024 in response to President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw and support her. This action has swiftly brought party leaders and possible rivals from around the country together in support of Harris.

Harris’s Announcement and Biden’s Support

Harris announced her candidacy through the Biden campaign email list about two hours after President Biden made her declaration. “I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination,” said Harris. “I have travelled the nation over the past year, speaking with citizens about the obvious option in this historic election. And I’ll keep doing that in the next days and weeks. I’ll do every effort to bring the Democratic Party and the country together in order to oppose Donald Trump and his radical Project 2025 program.”

Biden’s Choice to Resign

Biden declared on Sunday afternoon that he would “focus solely on my duties as President for the remainder of my term” following his withdrawal from the contest. He declared that Harris, the Democratic contender for president, had his utmost support and endorsement. “As the 2020 party nominee, Kamala Harris was my first choice for vice president. And it’s been the wisest choice I could have made,” he wrote on social media. “Today, I would want to extend my unwavering support and endorsement for Kamala to be this year’s party nominee. It’s time for Democrats to unite and defeat Trump. Now let’s get started.

Supporters Flood in for Harris

Many Democrats were already supporting the vice president as demand to stand down for Biden’s resignation following his weak debate performance against Trump grew over the course of the last few weeks. Harris was soon endorsed by influential party members and organizations.

Principal Supporters

• EMILYs List, a leftist organization that backs Democratic women who favor abortion rights, endorsed Harris right away. “She is the only candidate positioned to win against Trump in November, and the best voice to define the stakes in this election!” said the group.
• Former Presidents Bill and Hillary Clinton promised to assist Harris, saying they would “do whatever we can.”
• The former chief of staff of the White House, Ron Klain, stressed the importance of “unifying behind the only veteran of a national campaign,” alluding to Harris.
• Close Biden friend Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina declared his endorsement of Harris.
• She received endorsements from Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri, Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware, and Rep. Adam Schiff of California.

Backing from Additional Democratic Leaders

• Former Democratic presidential candidate Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg offered his endorsement, stating that Harris is “now the right person to take up the torch, defeat Donald Trump, and succeed Joe Biden as President.”
  Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, who was once thought to be a viable Democratic nominee, supported Harris, saying, “No one is better to prosecute the case against Donald Trump’s dark vision and guide our country in a healthier direction than America’s Vice President, Kamala Harris,” with our democracy and future at risk.

The Path Ahead

The decision will eventually be made by the party’s convention delegates, regardless of the flood of endorsements. Over the course of the next month, Harris needs to persuade the majority of the more than 4,000 delegates to the Democratic National Convention to endorse her candidacy. Governors Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, J.B. Pritzker of Illinois, Andy Beshear of Kentucky, and Wes Moore of Maryland are among her potential opponents; however, none of them made an announcement to oppose her right away.

In order to garner support, Harris has been proactive in her efforts, phoning Democratic Party leaders including Congressional Black Caucus Chair Steven Horsford and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Campaign Approach and Upcoming Initiatives

The date of Harris’s first official campaign event was not immediately known, although she already had commitments to be in Milwaukee on Tuesday and Indianapolis on Wednesday.

Reaction of the Democratic National Committee

Jaime Harrison, chair of the Democratic National Committee, acknowledged the extraordinary circumstances and announced that the party would shortly provide clarification on the nomination process. “In the coming days, the Party will undertake a transparent and orderly process to move forward as a united Democratic Party with a candidate who can defeat Donald Trump in November,” Harrison stated. “The Party’s established policies and procedures will apply to this process. Our delegates are ready to accept with all due seriousness the duty of presenting a candidate to the American people as soon as possible.”

Harris Assumes Leadership of Biden’s Campaign

Biden’s campaign group changed into a committee for Harris shortly after Harris made her statement, thereby launching her vice presidential quest. The Biden for President campaign submitted a request to alter its name to Harris for President with the Federal Election Commission. With this action, Harris gains command of Biden’s campaign finances and gains a major tactical edge over other possible Democratic contenders. As of the end of June, the Biden campaign claimed to have $240 million on hand.

With the funding support and an increasing number of endorsements, Harris’s campaign is well-positioned to pick up steam. On Sunday night, she sent out her first fundraiser text to kick off her fundraising efforts.

Backing from Important PACs

Following Biden’s resignation, the Congressional Black Caucus Political Action Committee, the CBC’s fundraising arm, declared its complete support for Harris. In a joint statement, Reps. Gregory Meeks, the chairman of the PAC, and Steven Horsford, the chair of the CBC, stated that “she has been instrumental in delivering the accomplishments of the last 3.5 years and has led on lowering maternal mortality rates, protecting reproductive freedoms, and ensuring economic opportunities for all.” “She is going to be a fantastic president of the United States.”

With a focus on stopping Donald Trump and his Project 2025 plan, Harris hopes to bring the Democratic Party and the country together as she pursues her campaign.’My Goal is to Succeed and Win’: Harris Seek Democratic Nomination Following Biden’s Withdrawal
