All the Democrats who have endorsed Kamala Harris to replace Joe Biden after he dropped out

President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race after weeks of mounting pressure.
Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him and become the Democratic nominee.
Democratic lawmakers quickly showed their support for Harris.

After weeks of mounting pressure, President Joe Biden announced Sunday he would drop out of the presidential race.

The Democrats now only have a few weeks to rally behind a new nominee, who will go on to face former President Donald Trump in November.

Biden’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris places her as a frontrunner, though it’s uncertain if any other potential candidates will choose to challenge her. Harris accepted Biden’s endorsement on Sunday evening.

As of Monday morning, many former and current Democratic lawmakers have already pledged their support for the vice president.

Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii

I strongly endorse @KamalaHarris’ candidacy for president. Her historic service as VP helped us achieve many of our biggest legislative wins, casting tie-breaking votes on bills to help the country recover from the pandemic & take the biggest climate action in human history.

— Brian Schatz (@brianschatz) July 21, 2024

Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut

Just because I know people are rightly cynical, there was no coordination of all these endorsements. We all learned about the President’s decision when everyone else did.

The outpouring of support for Kamala is organic. Because she can beat Trump and be a great president.
