Vice President Kamala Harris got off to a rocky start in office. She is now at the heart of a political drama that could make her the first woman of color to become a major party presidential nominee.
Vice President Kamala Harris, who has struggled for nearly four years in President Biden’s shadow, was thrust on Sunday into the center of a remarkable political drama that could culminate with her becoming the first woman of color at the top of a major-party presidential ticket.
Mr. Biden’s decision to abandon his re-election bid and endorse Ms. Harris to succeed him puts her in a powerful, but not certain, position to become the new face of the Democratic Party, charged with preventing former President Donald J. Trump from returning to the Oval Office for another four years.
“Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump,” Mr. Biden wrote in a social media post after he announced his decision to step aside. “Let’s do this.”
Ms. Harris and her team are likely to move swiftly to try to seize that mantle even as uncertainty swirled about whether other Democrats would seek to challenge her for the nomination at the party’s convention in Chicago next month.
In a statement, Ms. Harris thanked Mr. Biden for the endorsement, saying that his “legacy of accomplishment is unmatched in modern American history.” She vowed to “earn and win this nomination” and to keep Mr. Trump from serving another four years in the White House.
“We have 107 days until Election Day,” Ms. Harris wrote. “Together, we will fight. And together, we will win.”

STILL derided.
Campaign slogan——”Come along with comeala!”?
Surely no one here predicted this trajectory when they watched the Democratic primary debates in 2020.
Well, it has to do with the passage of time. There is great significance to the passage of time...
Never underestimate the ignorance of the American voter and in saying that I fear Trump is going to have a much harder time of this....Example when Trump gave his acceptance speech, I thought that was a wasted chance layout a plan of action and not go off on a rambling talkfest. I am not convinced that the Trump org learned anything from last run.
Better vote for Harris, then.
Harris is worse than joe,
As in “It’s not who you know, it’s who you blow,” and other slogans this hour.
Hell no but I am speaking of the unintelligent voter.
This is a suicide mission for Kamala which means she won’t be around for the 2028 election where Newsom, etc., can be the front runners.
Again we circle back to the uninformed American voter.
She will pick a white guy to be VP....WHY??? Because racist dems of all colors don’t trust 2 blacks or 2 women to run the country...Obama proved that ,picking Joe Biden.....So,dems will prove they are still the party of the KKK.....
Republicans need to point out that dems are racist...Kamala had to pick a white guy VP because dems won’t vote for 2 blacks or 2 women.....Kamala is looking at Josh Shapiro or Andy Beshear
I don't think Aunt Nancy and Hillary, contrary to her public comments, are quite there yet. One of them probably wants it all for herself, and the other wants what's best for young Gavin.
And the Obamas don't appear ready for a Rat lovefest, at present.
Rumor has it that Her Heinousness may be Harris VP? 🤔
Nothing has changed NYT.
