I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.
“I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination,” Ms. Harris said in a statement. “Over the past year, I have traveled across the country, talking with Americans about the clear choice in this momentous election. And that is what I will continue to do in the days and weeks ahead.
“I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party—and unite our nation—to defeat Donald Trump,” Ms. Harris added. “We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win.”
