Kamala Harris Announces 2024 Presidential Run
Vice President Considers Potential Running Mates
President Biden Endorses Harris's Qualifications
WASHINGTON - Vice President Kamala Harris has announced her intention to run for president in 2024, making her the first woman to do so on a major party ticket. The announcement comes after months of speculation and follows President Joe Biden's decision not to seek a second term.
In a statement released on her website, Harris said she was "honored to have the President's support" and that she was "ready to lead our nation into a new era of progress and prosperity." Harris is widely seen as a potential front-runner in the Democratic primary, but she faces a crowded field of challengers, including Senator Bernie Sanders and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
One of the first major decisions that Harris will have to make is who will be her running mate. Sources close to the vice president say that she is considering a number of options, including Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey, and Governor Gavin Newsom of California.
President Biden has said that he believes Harris is qualified to be president, but he has stopped short of endorsing her candidacy. Biden has said that he will make a decision on whether to endorse a candidate in the Democratic primary at a later date.
The 2024 presidential election is shaping up to be one of the most competitive in recent history. Harris is a formidable candidate with a strong track record in government, but she faces a number of challenges, including her relatively low name recognition and the crowded Democratic primary field.
