President Joe Biden맥스카지노�s announcement on Sunday that he will no longer continue his 2024 reelection bid and thanked Vice President Kamala Harris for being 맥스카지노�an exceptional partner.맥스카지노�He then endorsed her as his successor. 맥스카지노�My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it맥스카지노�s been the best decision I맥스카지노�ve made,맥스카지노� Biden said. 맥스카지노�Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats 맥스카지노� it맥스카지노�s time to come together and beat Trump. Let맥스카지노�s do this.맥스카지노�Biden said he would speak to the nation in detail next week. Democrats are set to gather in Chicago to pick who will run against Republican former President Donald Trump starting on Aug. 19. Some have mentioned California Gov. Gavin Newsom as a possible choice for president, though Newsom has said in the past he would not run against Harris. Newsom on Sunday called Biden an 맥스카지노�extraordinary, history-making president 맥스카지노� a leader who has fought hard for working people and delivered astonishing results for all Americans. He will go down in history as one of the most impactful and selfless presidents.맥스카지노�Before Biden's announcement, a spokesperson for Newsom맥스카지노�s campaign had told sister station KCRA on Friday he was expected to continue his work as a top surrogate for the Biden-Harris campaign.Newsom confirmed earlier this month he would not run against Harris in any presidential campaign. 맥스카지노�Of course,맥스카지노� he said when asked if that was still his plan after first making the statement on 맥스카지노�Meet the Press맥스카지노� last fall.Newsom for years has repeatedly said he is not interested in running for president, while also making several efforts to raise his national profile. The governor has been in and out of California over the last several months, straddling state business while stumping for Biden. He most recently visited Michigan and Pennsylvania to campaign for the president during the Fourth of July weekend. Newsom also traveled to support him in Washington, D.C. in a meeting with Democratic governors following the president맥스카지노�s poor debate performance. Days before that, he made his rounds with the media in the spin room of the very first presidential debate between Biden and Trump.Aside from his work as a surrogate, Newsom has positioned himself at the forefront of national political debates, especially on issues related to guns and abortion. Newsom launched his federal Campaign for Democracy to promote Democratic causes across the country. As of June 30, the campaign had raised $10.3 million. That campaign has funded a series of abortion-related ads in Republican-led states with restrictive policies. Through his Campaign for Democracy, he has also called for a Constitutional Convention on gun control, which hasn맥스카지노�t gained any ground since he launched the effort last summer.Newsom last winter also participated in a 맥스카지노�Red State versus Blue State맥스카지노� showdown in a televised debate with Florida맥스카지노�s Gov. Ron DeSantis. Prior to that, he promoted Democrats in the spin room of one of the Republican presidential debates. No prominent Democrats have publicly stated Newsom should be considered for the nomination should Biden drop out.Meanwhile, Harris as of Friday had been at the center of a plan being crafted by some Democrats to elevate her to the top of the ticket, according to NBC News. Harris had not approved the plan and was publicly and privately supporting Biden remaining in the race as of Friday.Prominent California leaders have been promoting her. Rep. Adam Schiff told 맥스카지노�Meet the Press맥스카지노� earlier this month that she would be a 맥스카지노�phenomenal president맥스카지노� and could win 맥스카지노�overwhelmingly.맥스카지노� Schiff this week called on Biden to drop out of the race. California Planned Parenthood CEO and DNC Delegate Jodi Hicks also has reportedly been pushing for her to be the Democratic presidential nominee. Harris has served as a trailblazer for women in California and national politics.Prior to becoming the first woman to ever serve as vice president in 2021, Harris was California맥스카지노�s U.S. senator from 2017 to 2021. She was the first South Asian American and second African-American woman to serve in the U.S. Senate. Prior to her time in the Senate, Harris was California맥스카지노�s first- and so far only -woman, African-American and South Asian American to serve as attorney general. Harris, who is originally from Oakland, also served as San Francisco's district attorney. Harris tried to run for president in 2020, but dropped out of the race before the Democratic primary elections began. KCRA 3's Daniel Macht contributed to this story.
