Kamala Harris Declares Candidacy, Accepts Biden’s Endorsement for Democrat Presidential Nomination
Just hours after Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris Sunday afternoon, Harris issued a statement accepting Biden’s endorsement and declaring her candidacy for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination.
On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country. His remarkable legacy of accomplishment is unmatched in modern American history, surpassing the legacy of many Presidents who have served two terms in office.
It is a profound honor to serve as his Vice President, and I am deeply grateful to the President, Dr. Biden, and the entire Biden family. I first came to know President Biden through his son Beau.
