In a historic turn of events, President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race has led to a swift consolidation of support for Vice President Kamala Harris among New York Democrats. State Democratic Party Chairman Jay Jacobs and Governor Kathy Hochul have expressed strong backing for Harris, organizing a virtual meeting to rally the state's 307 delegates behind her candidacy. Harris is gaining momentum nationally, receiving endorsements from notable party figures including former Presidents Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, alongside House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Meanwhile, concerns have emerged among some delegates about the lack of a competitive process, with calls for more respect towards those who worked for Biden's campaign. As Harris moves forward, the Democratic National Committee is coordinating a transparent selection process to solidify her position as the frontrunner. Fundraising efforts have surged following the launch of her campaign, signaling robust grassroots support.
