Major players in the Democratic Party on Sunday swiftly coalesced around Vice President Kamala Harris to be its new presidential nominee \u2014 a show of support that could make it difficult for any other candidates to seriously challenge her in the month before the Democratic National Convention.<\/p>\n<p>In the hours after President Joe Biden announced he would not run for reelection and endorsed Harris to be the nominee, Harris began making calls to key Democrats to shore up her support. She quickly racked up powerful endorsements from party leaders such as former President Bill Clinton, former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and critical Hill leaders, such as the chiefs of the centrist New Democrat Coalition and the Congressional Progressive Caucus. But several others \u2014 including former President Barack Obama, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer \u2014 remained quiet on the question of who replaces Biden, a signal that Harris and her allies still have work to do.<\/p>\n<p>Many shell-shocked Hill Democrats moved quickly to get their party in line behind Harris. Several senior Democrats were phoning their colleagues on Sunday urging them to publicly back Harris, both as a sign of support for Biden and to avoid further ugly infighting in the party, according to two members familiar with the conversations granted anonymity to discuss private conversations. Within hours of Biden\u2019s decision, dozens of Democrats had publicly released statements in support of Harris, including Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), a highly respected Biden ally. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries \u2014 who has not telegraphed his endorsement plans publicly \u2014 was expected to follow, several Democratic lawmakers predicted to POLITICO.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.), a progressive who had been backchanneling with other Democrats about how to convince Biden to step aside, predicted \u201c80-90 percent\u201d of Democrats were on board with Harris and the rest would coalesce around her by the convention in mid-August. \u201cI think Vice President Harris is absolutely going to lock this down, and I don\u2019t think there\u2019s much mystery to it,\u201d he said. Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.), a strong Biden ally who is a major part of Democrats\u2019 push to win Michigan in November, said the party owed it to Biden to follow his lead. She added that Harris is not only the best candidate, but is also the most \u201cpractical\u201d given the compressed timeline.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/07\/21\/democrats-rally-harris-00170085\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/07\/21\/democrats-rally-harris-00170085\">Politico<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/democrats-rally-around-harris-to-replace-biden\/\">Democrats rally around Harris to replace Biden<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[6780,3990,574,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-132534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-harris","tag-president","tag-us","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132534","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132534"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132534\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132534"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132534"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132534"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
