Democratic leaders endorse Kamala Harris: on her way to the presidency

The Democratic leaders in Congress endorse Kamala Harris and her candidacy The Democratic leaders in the Senate and the House of Representatives, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries respectively, have taken a step forward by announcing their support for Kamala Harris' candidacy for the November presidential elections in the United States. This endorsement comes at a crucial moment for the vice president, who is facing the opportunity to become the first woman to hold the presidency of the United States. In a joint press conference, Schumer and Jeffries highlighted the importance of supporting Harris at this crucial moment in American politics. Schumer stated, "Now that the process has unfolded from the grassroots, from the bottom up, we are here today to give our support to Vice President Kamala Harris." This endorsement is significant, as both leaders were among the few prominent figures within the party who had not yet pledged their support to the vice president. Schumer and Jeffries' endorsement comes after a powerful speech by Harris in which she set the tone for what her campaign will be as President Joe Biden's successor. In this speech, the vice president did not hesitate to strongly criticize Donald Trump, harking back to his time as California's attorney general to point out the kind of person the former president is. Harris managed to ignite enthusiasm among Democratic supporters after weeks of uncertainty and discouragement. Her campaign has raised more than $100 million since she announced her candidacy, demonstrating the support she is receiving. The former California senator has confirmed that she will focus her campaign on social issues, especially on the right to abortion, a topic that has sparked debate in American society. Harris' selection as the Democratic candidate is considered a certainty ahead of the Democratic Convention to be held from August 19 in Chicago. The majority of Democratic delegates have expressed their intention to support Harris, reinforcing her position as the presidential candidate. Harris, the only female vice president in the history of the United States, expressed hope of formally accepting this nomination soon. With the support of high-level Democratic leaders like Schumer and Jeffries, Kamala Harris positions herself as a key figure in American politics and as a candidate with real possibilities of becoming the first female president of the United States. Her campaign has gained momentum in recent weeks, and her message has resonated with Democratic voters, who see in Harris a leader capable of addressing the current challenges of the country and leading the United States on a path of progress and change.
