In a move that could shake up the political landscape, Vice President Kamala Harris took to Twitter to express her gratitude for President Joe Biden’s leadership while announcing her intention to seek the Democratic nomination. "On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country. I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination," Harris tweeted.

This comes on the heels of Biden’s surprising resignation announcement. In his statement, Biden lauded the accomplishments of his administration, claiming the U.S. now has the strongest economy in the world. He highlighted historic investments in healthcare, infrastructure, and climate legislation, as well as advancements in gun safety and judiciary diversity. Biden also noted the collective effort of Americans in overcoming a once-in-a-century pandemic and economic crisis.

Biden, who had intended to seek reelection, cited the best interests of the country and his party in his decision to step down. He pledged to continue fulfilling his duties as President for the remainder of his term, expressing deep gratitude to the American people and Vice President Harris for their support and partnership.

Now, with Biden’s endorsement in hand, Harris is poised to build on his legacy as she seeks to secure the Democratic nomination. Her bid for the presidency will undoubtedly be a focal point in the upcoming election cycle.
