The chair of the moderate House Democratic group, the New Democrat Coalition, Rep. Annie Kuster, has officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for a leadership role within the Democratic Party. Kuster's endorsement comes as Harris continues to reach out to key Democrats in preparation for the upcoming elections.
In her statement, Kuster expressed her support for Harris, highlighting the importance of defending personal freedoms, protecting reproductive rights, safeguarding democracy, and defeating Donald Trump and his supporters in the upcoming fall elections.
As a prominent figure within the New Democrat Coalition, Kuster's endorsement carries weight, especially considering the group represents a significant number of Democrats running in competitive districts across the country.
According to a reliable source, Harris personally reached out to Kuster as part of her outreach efforts to garner support from influential Democratic figures. The move underscores Harris's proactive approach in engaging with key party members as she positions herself for a more prominent role within the Democratic leadership.
Notably, the New Democrat Coalition recently had a tense call with President Joe Biden earlier this month, indicating the complex dynamics within the Democratic Party as various factions navigate their priorities and strategies leading up to the elections.
With Kuster's endorsement, Harris gains further momentum in her bid to rally support within the Democratic ranks and solidify her position as a key figure in shaping the party's direction moving forward.
