Kamala Harris Receives Obama, Pelosi Endorsements, Says She Is Ready to Debate Trump

HeadlineJul 26, 2024

In election news, Kamala Harris is reportedly preparing to announce her running mate by August 7, ahead of the DNC. Former President Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have become the latest high-profile Democrats to endorse Harris for president. Meanwhile, Harris says she is ready to face off with Trump on a debate stage after Trump’s campaign refused to commit to debating the presumptive Democratic nominee.

Vice President Kamala Harris: “I’m ready to debate Donald Trump. I have agreed to the previously agreed-upon September 10th debate. He agreed to that previously. Now it appears he’s backpedaling. But I’m ready. And I think the voters deserve to see the split screen that exists in this race on a debate stage. And so, I’m ready. Let’s go.”

On Thursday evening, Harris’s campaign set a record for the largest Zoom meeting ever. More than 136,000 people joined the campaign event titled “White Women: Answer the Call,” raising more than $1 million for Harris’s presidential campaign in less than an hour. This followed “Win with Black Men” and “Win with Black Women” events that raised nearly $3 million for the Harris campaign over the weekend.
