God I'm on a roll.
Wall St Journal
Vice President Kamala Harris will head to Wilmington, Del., today to meet campaign staff. She has received a wave of endorsements, including from Nancy Pelosi. Harris spoke at the White House this morning, paying tribute to President Biden. The previously scheduled speech was Harris’s first public appearance since Biden dropped his re-election bid and endorsed her.
What to know:
Harris has already secured more than half of the delegates she will need to clinch the nomination, according to a count by the Associated Press.
Harris held calls with Democratic governors who have been mentioned as potential running mates, including Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer endorsed Harris. Whitmer also told the Detroit News that she wasn't interested in being vice president.
Harris and her allies sprang into action to consolidate support from big donors. Reid Hoffman and George Soros have lined up behind the vice president, while some call for an open process.
Polls in recent weeks showed Harris performing slightly better than Biden in a race with Donald Trump.
But wait there's move...one hour later the Suntimes reports:
