Nancy Pelosi Endorses Kamala Harris for President

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic presidential nomination, a day after President Joe Biden announced he would not seek re-election and backed Harris as his successor. In her endorsement, Pelosi expressed 'immense pride and limitless optimism' for Harris, praising her as a strong advocate for working families and women's rights. Pelosi's support is seen as significant, especially as she reportedly encouraged Biden to step aside due to concerns about his age and viability in the race. Harris has since garnered endorsements from various prominent Democrats, with over 700 delegates already supporting her for the Democratic National Convention. Despite the growing momentum for Harris, some key figures, including former President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, have yet to publicly endorse her candidacy. Harris paid tribute to Biden's accomplishments during her first public remarks as a candidate, emphasizing the importance of his legacy in American leadership.
