In a remarkable display of financial support, Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign has announced a staggering $81 million raised within a mere 24-hour period.

This announcement comes in the wake of President Joe Biden's decision to step aside from seeking a second term, paving the way for Harris to pursue the Democratic nomination for the upcoming November presidential elections. Harris expressed her determination to secure the nomination, emphasizing her commitment to leading the Democratic Party to victory.

President Biden has publicly endorsed Harris, stating on the social media platform X, "I fully support Kamala as the Democratic candidate for this year's presidential election."

Harris, in response, expressed her gratitude for Biden's endorsement, lauding the president's decision as a "selfless and patriotic act."

The wave of support for Harris extends beyond the current administration. Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have also thrown their weight behind Harris's candidacy. "We are honored to join the President in supporting Vice President Harris and will do everything we can to assist her," the Clintons declared in a statement on X.

Additionally, Harris's campaign has garnered endorsements from a host of prominent Democratic leaders, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Governor Gavin Newsom, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

Harris's impressive fundraising achievement and broad-based support highlight a significant moment in the Democratic Party, as she steps forward with strong backing to lead the party in the upcoming presidential election.
