California Gov. Gavin Newsom gave his endorsement to Kamala Harris for president. “Tough. Fearless. Tenacious. With our democracy at stake and our future on the line, no one is better to prosecute the case against Donald Trump’s dark vision and guide our country in a healthier direction than America’s Vice President, @KamalaHarris,” Newsom said Sunday.

I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination,” Harris said.

In 2003, they were both elected to prominent positions in San Francisco — Harris as District Attorney and Newsom as Mayor. They both served those positions until 2011, when they both took positions at the state level. Newsom then served as Lt. Governor and Harris as Attorney General. Harris was later a Senator during the first two years of Newsom’s stint as Governor. Now, Newsom is offering his endorsement to Harris, who began her campaign for the Presidency on Sunday. Newsom himself was considered a potential pick for the White House when speculation began that Biden could step down after his disastrous debate performance late last month. The California Governor shot down questions regarding his interest in the job, and now his endorsement of Harris likely puts that speculation to rest. Newsom’s term as Governor expires in early 2027. Harris also received an endorsement from Hillary Clinton on Sunday. Hillary Clinton Endorses Kamala Harris ? #BREAKING: CA GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM ENDORSES KAMALA HARRIS He called her “Tough. Fearless.

Details: https://t.co/RpHePMB5zh pic.twitter.com/FwraX2eNot — KTLA (@KTLA) July 21, 2024 From The Hill: Harris, who previously represented California in the U.S. Senate, is seen as the party favorite to replace President Biden at the top of the ticket — following Biden’s historic announcement on Sunday that he would no longer seek the party’s nomination at the convention next month. Some Democrats have expressed interest in an open convention — a competitive race between numerous candidates trying to win the support of the party delegates. Many others, however, have thrown their support immediately behind Harris, seen as heir apparent as the vice president on the ticket. Biden has endorsed Harris’s bid, while former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) have stopped short of doing so. Newsom has been one of Biden’s top supporters and surrogates on the campaign trail. He has repeatedly said he would not run for president if Biden were to leave the race. He first said in 2022 that he would not run for president in 2024.

After Joe Biden announced he will not seek reelection, Kamala Harris has gained support for the Democratic presidential nomination. Harris picked up endorsements from Hillary Clinton and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. On Sunday, Harris gained her first delegates for the party’s presidential nomination. The Tennessee Democratic Party threw its support behind Harris. “During a meeting today, the Tennessee Delegation to the 2024 Democratic National Convention voted to support @KamalaHarris for President of the United States,” the Tennessee Democratic Party announced.

Biden delegate and Knoxville political strategist Jack Vaughn told Knox News their decision makes Tennessee the first state to put forth an endorsement. Democratic State Party Chair Hendrell Remus was in contact with other state party chairs, who said their states had not yet made an endorsement at the time of Tennessee’s decision. The delegates joined a scheduled Zoom call at 4 p.m. and discussed the party’s path forward following the president’s surprise announcement in a letter to Americans. While not every Tennessee delegate to the Democratic National Convention was on the call, participants decided to endorse Harris in the election many top Democrats thought was impossible for Biden to win against former President Donald Trump. #BREAKING: KAMALA HARRIS RECEIVES FIRST DELEGATES Tennessee has now pledged 77 delegates, and other state party chairs are holding a call now to coalesce around Harris, according to Reuters The “Democratic” Party is ANYTHING but democratic Nobody voted for this chick pic.twitter.com/y4Vq3fntV7 — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) July 21, 2024 The Tennessee convention delegation voted today to back Vice President Kamala Harris for president but not all state delegations have lined up behind her yet.https://t.co/do5MGNgfAl — Tennessee Lookout (@TNLookout) July 22, 2024 Per Tennessee Lookout: Tennessee delegates reached Sunday by the Tennessee Lookout indicated they were inclined to support Harris. “I’m extremely pleased he has endorsed Kamala Harris and it would be awfully difficult to not strongly support her,” said Chip Forrester, an at-large delegate from Tennessee. All the congressional Democrats from Wisconsin, a key battleground state in November’s election, quickly endorsed Harris, the Wisconsin Examiner reported. The state’s Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and party Chair Ben Wikler both stopped short of endorsing the vice president. One national delegate reached by the Oregon Capital Chronicle, Medford City Councilor Kevin Stine, said he would vote for Harris. Indiana state Sen. Karen Tallian said she would support Harris, even as others among the Hoosier State’s 88 DNC delegates declined to comment Sunday. But far from all Democratic delegates have lined up behind Harris. South Dakota delegates have not taken a position on endorsing Harris. Instead, they are waiting for guidance from the national party, the executive director of the South Dakota Democratic Party, Dan Ahlers, said to South Dakota Searchlight.

According to a White House Politico reporter, Adam Cancryn, White House and campaign aides were stunned by Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race.

President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he was exiting the 2024 presidential race, and while the official letter came from his office, many said that the marching orders had come from a handful of high-dollar donors and prominent members of his own party. And as fate would have it — and as a number of people quickly pointed out via X — the president famous for his love of ice cream announced his plan to “stand down” and not accept the party’s nomination on National Ice Cream Day. “If Joe Biden dropping out on national ice cream day doesn’t prove we live in a simulation idk what will,” one posted.
