Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for President following President Joe Biden's announcement that he will not seek reelection. Warren praised Biden's presidency as transformational, highlighting his achievements in job creation, standing up to big corporations, and building an inclusive economy.
In a statement, Warren expressed her support for Harris, describing her as a proven fighter and national leader in consumer protection and abortion rights. Warren emphasized Harris's ability to make a strong case against a potential reelection bid by Donald Trump, citing her background as a former prosecutor.
Warren's endorsement of Harris marks a significant shift from her previous stance in March 2023 when she declined to comment on whether Harris should remain as Biden's running mate. However, Warren now sees Harris as the candidate chosen by voters to succeed Biden if necessary, emphasizing her potential to unite the Democratic Party and secure victory in the upcoming election.
On Saturday, Warren had hinted at Biden's decision-making process regarding his successor, indicating her support for Harris. With this endorsement, Warren joins a growing number of Democratic leaders backing Harris's potential candidacy for President.
