Kamala Harris Sees Surge in Support After Biden’s Endorsement
Washington and the world are still reeling from President Joe Biden’s surprise announcement on Sunday that he is ending his re-election campaign. However, Biden’s swift endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him at the top of the Democratic ticket is energizing Democrats and breathing new life into their campaign to defeat former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance.
Since Biden’s withdrawal, Harris has seen a significant surge in support. The ‘Biden for President’ campaign committee has officially been renamed the Harris for President committee, maintaining the Biden team’s infrastructure, staff, and crucially, its $98 million in cash reserves. This influx of resources has allowed Harris to leverage Biden’s campaign infrastructure and tap into his vast financial reserves.
Democrats excited about a new ticket have donated tens of millions of dollars online to the Harris for President campaign. This sudden influx of funds has given Harris a significant boost in her bid to secure the Democratic nomination and ultimately, the presidency.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has also endorsed Harris, further solidifying her position within the Democratic Party. This endorsement, combined with the financial backing, has positioned Harris as a formidable challenger to Trump and Vance.
