Alabama’s delegation to the Democratic National Convention has unanimously voted to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democrats’ nominee for president.
“Alabama’s delegates are all in for Kamala Harris!” Congresswoman Terri Sewell said in a written statement. She chairs the Alabama delegation to the Democratic National Convention.
“We are immensely grateful to President Biden for his transformative leadership and we look forward to continuing his legacy of accomplishment under Vice President Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris is exceptionally qualified, battle-tested, and ready to prosecute the case against Donald Trump, and win. In the spirit of unity and progress, we look forward to an energizing convention where we will cast our votes to make Kamala Harris our Democratic Nominee and the next President of the United States.”
Democrats will meet in Chicago next month for the official nomination process.
Harris is visiting Wisconsin today, the Associated Press reported, making her first visit to a battleground state after locking up enough support from Democratic delegates to win her party’s nomination to challenge Republican former President Donald Trump, two days after President Joe Biden dropped his reelection bid.
