"I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party and our country to defeat Donald Trump," stated US Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday. Her candidacy was endorsed by Joe Biden. Earlier, the President of the USA announced that he would not seek re-election.
"I am honored to have received the President's endorsement and I intend to earn this nomination and win it," declared Kamala Harris.
Formally, Kamala Harris is not yet the Democratic Party's candidate for president, but an important first step has already been taken.
ABC News reported that according to the new filing with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the "Biden for President" campaign committee has just been renamed to the "Harris for President" campaign committee.
According to ABC News, the main campaign committee for Kamala Harris will now have nearly 96 million dollars in cash at its disposal.
They will choose the candidate
After President Joe Biden's decision to withdraw from the re-election race, the choice of the Democratic candidate will be decided by over 4,600 party delegates, who do not have formal instructions on whom to cast their vote. Despite this, Vice President Kamala Harris is the clear favorite to take over from Biden. Meanwhile, the vice-presidential candidate remains to be appointed.
