Vice President Kamala Harris commended President Biden on Monday for his notable achievements during the initial years of his term, asserting that he has surpassed the accomplishments of many past presidents in a shorter timeframe. Speaking at the White House's event for National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championship teams, Harris lauded Biden's legacy of achievement over the past three years, describing it as unparalleled in modern history.
Biden recently announced his decision to suspend his 2024 presidential campaign, citing pressure and the best interests of the party and the nation. In a letter posted on X, he expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve as president and endorsed Harris as his successor. Harris, in response, expressed her gratitude for the endorsement and her intention to earn the nomination.
During her first remarks after accepting Biden's endorsement, Harris praised the president for his honesty, integrity, faith, family commitment, compassion, and love for the country. She emphasized Biden's dedication to fighting for the American people and conveyed his eagerness to resume his duties after recovering from a recent COVID-19 diagnosis.
Harris announced her plans to visit the campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, on her first day of campaigning for president, signaling the beginning of her campaign journey. Despite some Democrats refraining from endorsing Harris immediately, she received numerous high-profile endorsements on Monday, potentially solidifying her position as the Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election.
With Biden's endorsement and a growing support base, Harris appears poised to lead the Democratic Party's campaign efforts as she embarks on her journey towards the presidential nomination.
