Vice President Kamala Harris Gains Momentum Towards Democratic Presidential Nomination: Endorsements, Support from Donors and Progressives

Vice President Kamala Harris is making a push for the Democratic presidential nomination following Joe Biden's exit from the race. According to sources, Harris has been calling Democratic leaders and elected officials to secure their support. The move comes as many party leaders are trying to create a sense of inevitability around Harris as the nominee.

The former president, Bill Clinton, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have already endorsed Harris. However, President Obama has not yet endorsed a candidate. Biden's team has officially renamed its campaign committee to 'Harris for President.'

Democratic donors and advisers are also rallying behind Harris following Biden's exit from the race. Reid Hoffman, a Democratic megadonor, and Alex Soros, another major billionaire backer of Joe Biden, have both endorsed Harris.

A group called United for Harris has formed to promote a potential 2024 presidential campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris. The group aims to give supporters an 'actionable thing to do' and promote her potential candidacy with a strong show of support. However, the group does not plan to retain data or live on beyond this moment.

Democrats are currently debating the future of their presidential ticket, with three main camps: those who want to stick with Biden, those who want Harris as a replacement, and an open nominating process. Some progressives, including Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, have re-evaluated Harris and are now supporting her potential candidacy.

The Democratic National Convention is scheduled for August 2024 in Chicago. The convention rules may play a role in deciding the nominee if Biden withdraws from the race. Rule 13.j allows elected delegates to reflect the sentiments of those who elected them, giving them room to drop their support for Biden. A candidate must agree to be in contention and submit supporters for a minimum of 300-600 delegates, with no more than 50 from any one state.
