With President Joe Biden’s announcement Sunday that he’s abandoning his reelection campaign, the Democrats’ freakout over the top of the ticket is over — at least for now.
Vulnerable down-ballot Democrats have rallied around Vice President Kamala Harris as their party’s nominee, saying she will provide a jolt of enthusiasm that will boost Democrats across the board.
“Vice President Harris is more than ready to unify our party and make a sharp, determined case for what’s on the ballot in November,’’ Rep. Matt Cartwright, a Democrat representing a battleground district in northeastern Pennsylvania, said in a statement. “She is a fierce advocate for working families, women’s rights, and our democratic values. I’m proud to support her candidacy for President of the United States.”
