Kamala Harris endorses Biden; Sanders wins Jesse Jackson’s backing
WASHINGTON — Kamala Harris endorsed Joe Biden on Sunday and said she would “do everything in my power’’ to help elect him, becoming the latest dropout from the Democratic race for president to line up behind the former vice president in his battle with Bernie Sanders for the nomination.
Jackson, a presidential candidate in 1984 and 1988, was appearing with Sanders during a campaign stop in Grand Rapids, Mich., and planned to say that Biden had not reached out to him for an endorsement and Sanders had.
Harris withdrew from the race in December, ending a candidacy with the historic potential of becoming the first black woman elected president. The former California attorney general was seen as a candidate poised to attract the multiracial coalition of voters that sent Barack Obama to the White House. But she ultimately could not craft a message that resonated with voters or secure the money to continue her run.
“This is something we must reckon with and it is something I will have more to say about in the future,” she said. “But we must rise to unite the party and country behind a candidate who reflects the decency and dignity of the American people and who can ultimately defeat Donald Trump.’’
