Vice President Harris is racing to lock down support for her White House bid, just hours after President Biden announced that he would no longer seek reelection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris on Sunday spoke with the chairs of three key coalitions on Capitol Hill: Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Rep. Nanette Barrag\u00e1n (D-Calif.) of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and Rep. Ann McLane Kuster (D-N.H.) of the New Democrat Coalition. All three have backed Harris for the nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also spoke with Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) \u2014 \u201dShe is ready to win in Wisconsin!!!\u201d he said on the social platform X \u2014 and Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) said he heard from her staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHer team is fully activated and phones are ringing, emails are blowing up, this thing is rolling,\u201d Huffman told The Hill in a brief interview Sunday. \u201cThis has taken off like a rocket ship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked what the sentiment of his conversation was, Huffman responded: \u201cLet\u2019s roll.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The full-court press on Capitol Hill comes as Harris looks to turbocharge her nascent presidential campaign after Biden announced that he would no longer seek the party\u2019s nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden was facing mounting pressure from Democrats to reconsider his decision to run amid concerns following his disastrous debate performance last month. The president was at first defiant, consistently saying he would not step aside, but reversed his position on Sunday, quickly endorsing Harris for the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it\u2019s been the best decision I\u2019ve made,\u201d Biden said on X. \u201cToday I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris embraced the endorsement, writing in a statement: \u201cI am honored to have the President\u2019s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris is expected to maintain an aggressive travel schedule as she\u2019s been doing in recent months, according to a source familiar with the matter. Major Democratic PACs, including AAPI Victory Fund, the Collective PAC and Latino Victory Fund endorsed her on Sunday, and the Biden campaign infrastructure is pivoting to support Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris\u2019s sprint to ramp up support comes less than one month before the Democratic National Convention is set to kick off in Chicago. A number of Democratic lawmakers have endorsed Harris for the nomination, but some key names are reserving judgment. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and former President Obama all heaped praise on Biden but stopped short of endorsing Harris, raising some eyebrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The path forward remains largely unclear. Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison on Sunday said \u201cIn the coming days, the Party will undertake a transparent and orderly process to move forward as a united Democratic Party with a candidate who can defeat Donald Trump in November.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis process will be governed by established rules and procedures of the Party,\u201d he added. \u201cOur delegates are prepared to take seriously their responsibility in swiftly delivering a candidate to the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jayapal on Sunday said she told Harris on the call that she is \u201c1000% in for her to be our President!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe has the smarts, the experience, the accomplishments and the agenda to lead us to victory in November. Let\u2019s go!\u201d she added on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barrag\u00e1n echoed that sentiment, writing on X: \u201cJust spoke to the Vice President to reiterate that I\u2019m all in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlease join me and support Vice President Kamala Harris with a contribution today!\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
