According to a Politico report, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries are preparing to officially endorse Kamala Harris for president.
The endorsement is set for Tuesday afternoon.
From Politico:
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries are poised to endorse Kamala Harris for president at a press conference Tuesday afternoon, three people familiar with the plans told POLITICO.
The two top congressional Democrats announced Tuesday morning that they would hold a joint press conference at 1 p.m. near the Capitol. They did not reveal the subject of the press conference, but the three people said it would be a joint endorsement of Harris, following her success Monday night in securing the necessary delegates to clinch the Democratic nomination.
It’s a further show of force behind Harris after a flood of party endorsements, congressional and otherwise, came in immediately after President Joe Biden announced his decision to drop out.
Schumer and Jeffries are a few of the remaining top Democrats who have yet to throw their hat in with Kamala; former President Barack Obama remains a notable holdout.
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi backed Harris on Monday.
