Kamala Harris has launched her campaign for the White House, after PresidentĀ Joe Biden stepped aside Sunday under pressure from party leaders.

The vice president has Bidenā€™s endorsement, and is unchallenged as yet for the Democratic nomination, which will be formally decided at the Aug. 19 convention in Chicago.

ā€œI am honored to have the Presidentā€™s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination,ā€ Harris said in a statement. ā€œI will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Partyā€”and unite our nationā€”to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda. We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win.ā€

In her statement, the vice president paid tribute to Bidenā€™s ā€œextraordinary leadership,ā€ saying he had achieved more in one term than many presidents do in two.

    • You: Racism and sexism exist!

    • Me: Yes, but Democrats have managed to overcome both in recent elections.

    • You: Wellā€¦ Kamala Harris just sucks! For reasons!

    Okay, filing this conversation away with other wastes of time.
