Other potential vice presidential picks include Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, and North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper. “There are clearly others, but those four names are the names I keep hearing about,” Gangel reported.
Harris’ campaign has seen a significant financial boost since Biden’s announcement. In just one day, her campaign amassed nearly $50 million in donations. “Since the President endorsed Vice President Harris yesterday afternoon, everyday Americans have given $49.6 million in grassroots donations to her campaign,” a Harris campaign representative told Fox News.
The funds have been raised through various channels, including ActBlue, reflecting widespread grassroots support. Following Biden’s announcement, Harris swiftly launched her presidential campaign, positioning herself as the new leader of the Democratic Party.
Biden’s decision to step aside was influenced by mounting pressure from within the Democratic Party. Reports suggest that party leaders were concerned about Biden’s ability to defeat former President Trump, the likely GOP nominee, in the upcoming election. Biden, who had previously won the presidency four years ago, expressed his unwavering support for Harris. “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president,” Biden wrote in a public letter. “While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interests of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term.”
Biden also took to social media, promising to address the nation later in the week and formally endorsing Harris. His endorsement is expected to dissuade other potential Democratic contenders, thereby clearing the path for Harris to secure the party’s nomination.

More than 178 Democratic members of Congress and over six governors, including California Governor Gavin Newsom and New York Governor Kathy Hochul, have already thrown their support behind Harris. This overwhelming support positions her strongly within the party.
Harris responded to Biden’s endorsement with gratitude. “I am honored to have the President’s endorsement, and I intend to earn and win this nomination,” she said in a statement. However, one notable absence from her list of endorsements is former President Barack Obama. Obama has not yet endorsed Harris, advocating instead for a process to select the most outstanding nominee.
In a statement filled with praise for Biden, Obama remarked, “For now, Michelle and I just want to express our love and gratitude to Joe and Jill for leading us so ably and courageously during these perilous times—and for their commitment to the ideals of freedom and equality that this country was founded on.”
Obama acknowledged the uncertain political landscape ahead but expressed confidence in the party’s ability to nominate a strong candidate. “We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead. But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges,” he said. Obama also affirmed his belief in Biden’s vision for America and expected this vision to be showcased at the Democratic Convention in August.
As Harris gears up for the race, her immediate focus is on building a robust campaign team and selecting a running mate who can help unite the party and attract a broad coalition of voters. The coming weeks will be crucial as Harris navigates the complex landscape of a presidential campaign, aiming to secure the Democratic nomination and eventually the presidency.
