Latino Democrats and Organizations Rally Around Kamala Harris
The statements keep on coming

Ever since President Joe Biden announced on Sunday afternoon that he would not seek a second term and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the 2024 Democratic Party nominee, several Latino Democrats and organizations have been sharing statements of support. Here is just a sampling of the Harris endorsements. (FYI, the New York Times has a comprehensive list of all Democratic elected officials who are all in for Harris as of Monday morning. This list is being updated, and other Latino Democrats are on the complete list.)
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
Kamala Harris will be the next President of the United States. I pledge my full support to ensure her victory in November.
Now more than ever, it is crucial that our party and country swiftly unite to defeat Donald Trump and the threat to American democracy.
Let’s get to work.

If Kari Lake is in the Senate and Donald Trump is in the White House, abortion will be banned and other rights taken away from Arizonans.
As Vice President, @KamalaHarris has been crossing the country and visiting states like ours to defend the right for women to make their own… x.com/i/web/status/1…
