The second-highest ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives, Rep. Katherine Clark of Massachusetts, officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party's nominee for the 2024 presidential election. Clark expressed her endorsement with pride and enthusiasm, highlighting Harris's advocacy for working families and reproductive rights.
Clark commended Harris for her efforts in challenging corporate interests, reducing prescription drug costs for seniors, expanding the Child Tax Credit, and significantly decreasing child poverty rates. In contrast, Clark criticized former President Donald Trump, labeling him as a threat to fundamental democratic principles and justice for all.
While Clark has publicly thrown her support behind Harris, other prominent Democratic figures have yet to make their endorsements known. Speaker of the House Hakeem Jeffries, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and former President Barack Obama have not publicly declared their support for any specific candidate at this time.
