Vice President Harris is racing to lock down support for her White House bid, just hours after President Biden announced that he would no longer seek reelection.
Harris on Sunday spoke with the chairs of three key coalitions on Capitol Hill: Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Rep. Nanette Barragán (D-Calif.) of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and Rep. Ann McLane Kuster (D-N.H.) of the New Democrat Coalition. All three have backed Harris for the nomination.
She also spoke with Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) — ”She is ready to win in Wisconsin!!!” he said on the social platform X — and Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) said he heard from her staff.
“Her team is fully activated and phones are ringing, emails are blowing up, this thing is rolling,” Huffman told The Hill in a brief interview Sunday. “This has taken off like a rocket ship.”
Asked what the sentiment of his conversation was, Huffman responded: “Let’s roll.”
The full-court press on Capitol Hill comes as Harris looks to turbocharge her nascent presidential campaign after Biden announced that he would no longer seek the party’s nomination.
Biden was facing mounting pressure from Democrats to reconsider his decision to run amid concerns following his disastrous debate performance last month. The president was at first defiant, consistently saying he would not step aside, but reversed his position on Sunday, quickly endorsing Harris for the job.
“My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made,” Biden said on X. “Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year.”

This will create an interesting moment when Harris has to certify the electors of the 2024 election. Reminds me of when Al Gore in 2000. He had to certify his own loss.
In the event that Harris is not knocked off the ticket she’ll have to debate Trump or Vance. Ouch, Trump will be like a Hiroshima blast and Vance’s will be death by a thousand cuts but either way it will be quite the mess to clean up.
“Kamala Harris = Chauncey Gardener in drag.”
Well, gardeners wear knee pads and Kamala...
More popcorn!
People stopped and listened to every word Chauncey said. No one pays any attention to Kamala
I think so. Also, Republicans seem to be celebrating too soon I think. Let’s wait for new polls showing a re-energized Democrat base.
“ With Joe outta the way the Jew haters should be happy ?”
Well…Kamala’s husband is Jewish…soooo
Yes, this is definitely a bit choreographed to seem like an upswell of support for Harris. Except the New York Times and maybe a few others. Democrats are desperate for anyone other than Biden so maybe they go for Harris. Cheat the others out.
That is a lot of people to have sex with.
How many can she do a day, with consideration to travel time?
Dust off those knee pads, Heels Up.

You speak the truth. I was cynically hoping for a different “Harris”, (Ed Harris?). But alas, here we are
Social media already calling her Madame President....Commander in Chief
That has to be pissing Hillary off bigly.
What will Biden’s cabinet and staff do, accept and support Harris or bail?
What can be appointed, unburdened by what was voted for.
Track down the account and you find about 95% of them are bot accounts with just a few really stupid humans parroting what ever today’s line is suppose to be from the DNC.
Do not be fooled. Most of social media is manufactured, and paid for, Astroturf
Her handlers won’t let that happen. If she picked hillary, Kamala would be disposed of quickly. Ft. Marcy park kind of stuff. Then the hildabeast would declare herself the next president.
