Senator Kamala Harris, a former Democratic presidential candidate endorsed her one-time rival Joe Biden's bid for the White House
JACKSON, Miss. - U.S. Senator Kamala Harris, the one-time Democratic presidential contender who took Joe Biden to task over his civil rights record, endorsed the former vice president on Sunday in his bid to challenge Republican Donald Trump in November.
“There is no one better prepared than Joe to steer our nation through these turbulent times, and restore truth, honor, and decency to the Oval Office,” said Harris, a first-term senator from California and the state’s former attorney general. A number of Harris backers switched their support to Biden after she dropped out of the race in December, having struggled to build support and raise money.
In his endorsement, Jackson described black Americans as those most left behind socially and economically. Jackson has been a leader of the U.S. civil rights movement since the mid-1960s, and was with Martin Luther King Jr. when he was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1968.Biden credited African-American voters with reviving his moribund campaign on Sunday in Mississippi.
