Vice President Kamala Harris further solidified her support base on Tuesday with the endorsements of the top-ranking Democrats in the House and Senate. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) made the announcement in a joint press conference on Capitol Hill. “Now that the process has played out from the grassroots, bottom-up, we are here today to throw our support behind Vice President Kamala Harris,” Schumer said. Jeffries said he is “proud to strongly endorse” Harris. He added, “We’re going to hold the Senate, we’re going to win the House, we’re going to elect Kamala Harris as our next president.” Jeffries: I'm proud to strongly endorse Kamala Harris to be the 47th president of the United States of America. We're going to hold the Senate, we're going to win the House, we're going to elect Kamala Harris as our next president in November. pic.twitter.com/OMIKw2CqXa — Acyn (@Acyn) July 23, 2024 President Joe Biden Biden announced on Sunday that he was exiting the 2024 race and endorsed Harris to take on former President Donald Trump as the Democratic Party’s nominee. Allies had been applying intense pressure on Biden, 81, to drop out after a fumbling debate performance late last month spurred concerns about his mental acuity and electability. “President Biden’s selfless decision has given the Democratic Party to unite behind a new nominee, and boy oh boy are we enthusiastic,” Schumer said on Tuesday. Schumer said he and Jeffries “deeply respected” how Harris told them she wanted “the opportunity to win the nomination on her own and to do so from the grassroots-up, not top-down.” Chuck Schumer, alongside Hakeem Jeffries, endorses Kamala Harris for president: "We are here today to throw our support behind Vice President Kamala Harris!" Schumer says. pic.twitter.com/kkMrGDGwgb — The Recount (@therecount) July 23, 2024 Harris has gathered the support of enough delegates to win the nomination, although the process remains open, and another challenger could emerge before voting begins next month. High-profile members of the party, such as House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), have endorsed Harris. However, former President Barack Obama has not yet made an endorsement. Schumer said Harris has “done a truly impressive job” winning over delegates and noted how the “vast majority of my senators quickly and enthusiastically endorsed her.” “Team Harris” raised a record $81 million in the first 24 hours since Harris began running for the presidency, her campaign said in a statement on Monday. NBC News reported that Harris’ campaign has requested vetting materials from potential running mates, including Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ). The others were reported to be Governors Roy Cooper of North Carolina, Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, and Tim Walz of Minnesota.

The race for Vice President Kamala Harris's running mate has intensified as her campaign has reportedly sent vetting materials to several prominent Democrats. Leading the list are Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA), both seen as strong contenders from key battleground states​. As Harris secures the Democratic nomination for the presidency, her campaign is meticulously evaluating potential vice-presidential candidates. In addition to Kelly and Shapiro, other figures who have received vetting documents include Govs. Roy Cooper (D-NC), Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI), Tim Walz (D-MN), and J.B. Pritzker (D-IL). However, Pritzker himself has denied receiving such materials​​. Kamala’s VP options: pic.twitter.com/G5WF0g3AZA — Robert Komaniecki (@Komaniecki_R) July 21, 2024 Notably absent from the list is Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY), who was widely speculated to be a top candidate. Despite his active campaigning for the spot, Beshear confirmed that he has not been contacted by the Harris campaign regarding the vice-presidential vetting process​​. The selection process comes as Harris's campaign aims to solidify its ticket with a running mate who can bolster support in crucial states and appeal to a broad voter base. Both Kelly and Shapiro bring significant political experience and are seen as centrist figures who could attract moderate voters.

Harris's campaign strategy appears to focus on choosing a running mate who can complement her platform and strengthen the Democratic ticket's appeal across diverse demographics and key regions. The inclusion of multiple governors suggests a preference for candidates with executive experience and a proven ability to govern effectively. The vetting process is expected to be thorough, with candidates undergoing extensive background checks and evaluations of their political stances and public personas. The campaign's ultimate decision will likely aim to balance political strategy with the need for a cohesive and effective partnership in the White House. As the Democratic National Convention approaches, speculation and anticipation build around who Harris will ultimately choose to join her on the ticket. The selected vice-presidential candidate will play a pivotal role in the campaign, helping to unify the party and galvanize voter support ahead of the November election.

Alex Trebek had millions of people giving answers in the form of a question for decades as the long-time host of Jeopardy! Sadly, he passed away in 2020 after a long and noble battle with pancreatic cancer at age 80. Those who invited him into their home for their favorite game shows for almost 50 years truly miss his quick wit and soft demeanor.

U.S. Postal Service celebrates the life and legacy of beloved “JEOPARDY!” host Alex Trebek with a Forever stamp. https://t.co/pY9eq6RWpo— U.S. Postal Service (@USPS) July 23, 2024 The stamp is pretty darn clever, just like Trebek. It features an answer to a question, just like on the show. “This naturalized U.S. citizen hosted the quiz show Jeopardy! for 37 seasons.” “Who is Alex Trebek?” is written upside down on the bottom.  The USPS offers the new forever stamps for $0.73 each or $14.60 for a sheet of 20. When placed on a sheet, they look just like the show’s unmistakable question board. “Jeopardy!” Host Alex Trebek Was Truly A Legend A video shared by the USPS highlights Alex’s time on Jeopardy with clips and photos.
