VP Kamala Harris vaults to frontrunner status with Biden endorsing her as replacement
There's an immediate front-runner in the race to replace Joe Biden atop the Democratic ticket. But she hasn't locked it up yet.
In the wake of Biden's bombshell withdrawal Sunday from the presidential race, he gave a powerful boost to Vice-President Kamala Harris by endorsing her. But there was conspicuous silence from other top Democrats
Harris's response appeared to acknowledge it might not be a coronation.
"My intention is to earn and win this nomination," she said in a statement, saying she was honoured to have Biden's endorsement.
She received numerous endorsements from congressional Democrats, including the party's Black and Hispanic caucuses and some leading progressives like Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
