Vice President Kamala Harris confirmed she will run for president hours after President Joe Biden announced he would end his reelection bid, subsequently endorsing Harris.
Harris called Biden’s decision to end his campaign a “selfless and patriotic act,” adding by doing so he was “putting the American people and our country above everything else.”
Harris must also answer questions on her potential role in pushing Biden to the side. Elite liberal activists and donors – many who have already flocked to Harris’s campaign – pushed Biden aside despite him overwhelmingly securing the delegates necessary to be the nominee.
Her statement in its entirety reads:
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.
With this selfless and patriotic act, President Biden is doing what he has done throughout his life of service: putting the American people and our country above everything else.
I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination. Over the past year, I have traveled across the country, talking with Americans about the clear choice in this momentous election. And that is what I will continue to do in the days and weeks ahead. I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party—and unite our nation—to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda.
We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win.
Notably, Harris chose to attack Trump over Project 2025, an outside effort to prepare staff and other aid to the next Trump campaign that Trump repeatedly has denounced.
