South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley expressed her appreciation for President Biden's endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris after deciding not to run for re-election in 2024. Biden officially announced his decision in a statement on Sunday, where he also publicly backed Harris as his preferred successor.
Staley, who had previously received congratulations from Harris after her team's victory in the national championship earlier in 2024, took to social media to commend Biden for his choice. In a tweet, Staley wrote, 'Thank you, @POTUS @JoeBiden! Job well done! Your historical endorsement of @VP @KamalaHarris is saluted!'
Staley's support for Biden had shown signs of wavering following the contentious debate on June 27 against former President Trump. However, her recent statement indicates a renewed sense of approval for Biden's decision not to seek re-election and his endorsement of Harris.
