Democrats Rally Behind Vice President Kamala Harris

After President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the presidential race, top Wisconsin Democrats, like Senator Tammy Baldwin and Representative Mark Pocan, endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee, emphasizing a fresh approach and energy for the campaign. While some powerful party members like former President Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have not yet officially endorsed Harris, Biden and several key Democrats have expressed support, with a growing list of lawmakers endorsing Harris. Additionally, Minnesota Democratic officials, including Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, swiftly backed Harris, highlighting the need for a unified front to defeat Donald Trump and J.D. Vance in the upcoming election. The Democratic National Convention in August will play a crucial role in finalizing the party's nominee amidst concerns about Harris's ability to beat Trump and calls for a mini-primary before the convention.
