US vice-president Kamala Harris arrives to speak during an event honouring National Collegiate Athletic Association championship teams from the 2023-2024 season on the South Lawn of the White House on Monday.
Brad Karp, a prominent Wall Street fundraiser and chair of the New York-based corporate law firm Paul Weiss, swiftly endorsed Ms Harris, whom he backed during her 2020 run. Ms Harris’s bid for the nomination, which will be officially decided at the Democratic National Convention in August, was strengthened after California governor Gavin Newsom, who was high on the list of potential Biden successors, backed her on Sunday evening.
“Kamala Harris is the easiest choice with someone like Shapiro, Kelly, Beshear as VP,” said Boston-based property investor George Krupp, who hosted a fundraiser for Mr Biden in May. “This is a positive development. Biden is an honourable man and he did the right thing.”beat Mr Biden’s fundraising machine in the second quarter of the year, figures released this week showed.
Ms Harris secured key endorsements from the Clintons, followed by the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, making it unlikely that a mainstream Democrat would challenge her, said a west coast Democratic fundraiser. “President Biden made a courageous decision today,” said Mr Altman on Sunday. “He boosted the prospect of defeating Donald Trump and preserving American democracy and the rule of law.”
