Kamala Harris Announces 2024 Presidential Run

Vice President Takes the Lead

On July 21, 2024, Vice President Kamala Harris officially announced her candidacy for President of the United States in the 2024 election. Her announcement came shortly after President Joe Biden withdrew his bid for reelection.

Biden's Endorsement and DNC Support

Following President Biden's withdrawal from the race, he endorsed Harris, giving her the support of his campaign infrastructure and significant financial resources. Harris also secured the support of a majority of delegates to the Democratic National Convention, ensuring her nomination as the Democratic presidential candidate.

Financial Advantage and Policy Priorities

Harris's campaign has a substantial financial advantage, with President Biden's campaign having over $96 million on hand at the end of June. She has outlined her policy priorities, including economic recovery, healthcare reform, and climate change mitigation.

Contested Primary Ahead

Harris is likely to face a contested primary race, with several other prominent Democrats expressing interest in the nomination. However, her early entrance into the race and the support she has already garnered give her a strong foundation to build upon as the campaign unfolds.
