Kamala Harris, the Vice president of the United States of America, has been endorsed by the Louisiana delegation to the Democratic National Convention, DNC.
The VP was given the nod to run against Republican Donald Trump after a virtual meeting in which it held a vote, in which Harris won an “overwhelming majority”.
Speaking after the vote, the Louisiana Democratic Party Chair, Randal Gaines, who also chairs the delegation to the convention, thanked President Joe Biden for stepping down from the presidential race.
“We are grateful to President Joe Biden for his remarkable leadership, and we are committed to honoring his legacy by working tirelessly this fall to keep the White House in Democratic hands,” a statement from the Chairman said.
“I am proud to share that Louisiana’s Democratic delegates will join President Biden in endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as our nominee.
“It’s time we come together, and by throwing our full support behind her, we can beat Donald Trump again and continue Joe Biden’s legacy of accomplishments and progress for our country.
“We look forward to a productive, energizing, and historic convention in which we nominate the first black woman as our Democratic nominee,” he added.
