President Biden’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement in the election campaign quickly drew significant support from fellow Democrats Sunday. According to Politico, the following have endorsed the veep’s stand-in candidacy:
•Former President Bill Clinton and former Sec. of State Hilary Clinton.
•Rep. Jim Clyburn, South Carolina.
•Rep. Debbie Dingell, Michigan.
•Gov. Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania (a leading potential running mate for Harris).
•Gov. Roy Cooper, North Carolina (also a potential running mate).
•Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts.
Former President Barack Obama is a holdout, posting on Medium that he has “extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges.”
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and current Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer also have not yet committed to Harris.
