She emphasized her commitment to working with Harris to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
Joining Omar in endorsing Harris is Rep. Jamie Raskin from Maryland, who highlighted the importance of Democratic unity and focus on electing Harris as the next President. Raskin had previously urged Biden to reconsider his candidacy, indicating a shift in support towards Harris.
