“Vice President Kamala Harris launched her official campaign Monday with a fiery address to supporters in Delaware — her first public address since overnight becoming a candidate for president and the Democrats’ likely nominee,” the Los Angeles Times reports.
“Harris arrived at the campaign’s headquarters in Wilmington, where staffers erupted into cheers.”
“Before Harris addressed the crowd, President Biden phoned in to speak to the gathered staff, saying he would have attended in person if he weren’t still recovering from COVID-19. He advised his team: ‘Embrace her. She’s the best.’”
Axios: “Biden’s comments will likely throw more weight behind Harris’ bid to replace him on the Democratic ticket, and shed light on how he’s feeling the day after halting his campaign.”
