Vice President Kamala Harris and her aides have been working to present a united front in recent weeks amidst growing pressure for President Joe Biden to step out of the race. Senior staffers have reportedly mandated to stay the course, sources revealed.
Harris has been actively campaigning, steadfastly supporting Biden and his track record. Just this past Saturday, she participated in a fundraiser in Massachusetts, where she raised over $2 million. This fundraiser followed a call with donors, which Harris joined at the request of Biden advisors.
Aides have emphasized in recent days and weeks that there is no distance between Harris and Biden, and the plan is to align with the campaign's direction.
One notable moment that resonated with friends and allies was on July 4 when Harris and Biden watched the White House fireworks together from the balcony for the first time. During the event, the two embraced, and at one point, the president raised the vice president's hand.
Harris was reportedly informed on Sunday that Biden would be withdrawing from the race. Throughout the day, the two had multiple conversations, according to a source.
Biden has officially endorsed Harris to be the Democratic nominee.
