The national Democratic Party should unite behind Vice President Kamala Harris as the party's presidential nominee, according to Alabama's Democratic Party chairman Randy Kelley on Monday.
President Joe Biden announced Sunday he would be dropping out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor. Although other names have been mentioned as challengers for the nomination at the party's convention in August, Harris appears to be the frontrunner.
"We support Vice President Harris. Kamala Harris has been an integral part of the successes of the Biden-Harris presidency and those successes are many. From historic investments in small business, job creation, and forgiving millions in student loans, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have guided America with a steady hand after 4 years of Donald Trump's chaos," Kelley said in a statement on Monday. "We are better off than we were 4 years ago. The contrast between Trump and Vice President Harris could not be clearer. Donald Trump is a threat to the fabric of our Democracy. His plans for America are nefarious. We cannot allow him the opportunity to implement Project 2025. We must unite behind Vice President Harris as the Democratic Party nominee and pledge our full support. And when Alabama Democrats are united, there's no limit to what we can do."
