Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris after President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race.
In a lengthy statement posted to social media, Pelosi endorsed Harris to lead the Democrats’ ticket. Pelosi expressed her “pride” in Harris, who is facing low approval ratings as vice president based on historical polling data.
“With immense pride and limitless optimism for our country’s future, I endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for President of the United States. I have full confidence that she will lead us to victory in November,” she wrote.
Pelosi continued in a threaded response by praising Biden for finally withdrawing after weeks of increasing pressure from influential Democrats and donors, including none other than the California Congresswoman herself.
“America has been truly blessed by the wisdom and leadership of President Joe Biden. With love and gratitude, I salute President Biden for always believing in the possibilities of America and giving people the opportunity to reach their fulfillment. As one of our country’s most consequential presidents, President Biden has been not only on the right side of history, but on the right side of the future,” Pelosi quipped in the lengthy statement.
“Today, it is with immense pride and limitless optimism for our country’s future that I endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for President of the United States. My enthusiastic support for Kamala Harris for President is official, personal, and political,” Pelosi continued.
“Officially, I have seen Kamala Harris’s strength and courage as a champion for working families, notably fighting for a woman’s right to choose. Personally, I have known Kamala Harris for decades as rooted in strong values, faith, and a commitment to public service. Politically, make no mistake: Kamala Harris as a woman in politics is brilliantly astute – and I have full confidence that she will lead us to victory in November.” she added.
