US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg recently engaged with donors from his past presidential campaign to rally support for Kamala Harris' candidacy. This move comes after Buttigieg officially endorsed his former 2020 rival, Vice President Harris.
During the call with donors, Buttigieg emphasized the importance of backing Harris as she seeks the Democratic nomination for the upcoming presidential race. The collaboration between Buttigieg and Harris underscores a broader effort within the Democratic Party to consolidate support and financial backing for the vice president's campaign.
Buttigieg's endorsement of Harris was accompanied by a statement affirming his belief in her ability to lead the nation. He highlighted Harris as the ideal candidate to carry forward the Democratic agenda, defeat potential opponent Donald Trump, and continue the legacy of President Joe Biden.
Notably, Buttigieg's endorsement of Harris follows their joint participation in a significant fundraiser that raised $2 million for Harris's campaign. The event served as a platform for Buttigieg to express his commitment to assisting Harris in her bid for the presidency.
Looking ahead, Buttigieg expressed his dedication to supporting Harris throughout the election process, with a clear focus on helping her secure the presidency and guide the country towards a prosperous future.
The collaboration between Buttigieg and Harris reflects a strategic alignment within the Democratic Party as they navigate the upcoming presidential race and work towards a unified front in advancing their political objectives.
