Kamala Harris, who launched her campaign for president, has long been a favorite of Hollywood donors.

Kamala Harris has launched her campaign for the White House, after PresidentĀ Joe Biden stepped aside Sunday under pressure from party leaders.

The vice president has Bidenā€™s endorsement, and is unchallenged as yet for the Democratic nomination, which will be formally decided at the Aug. 19 convention in Chicago.

ā€œI am honored to have the Presidentā€™s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination,ā€ Harris said in a statement. ā€œI will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Partyā€”and unite our nationā€”to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda. We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win.ā€

In her statement, the vice president paid tribute to Bidenā€™s ā€œextraordinary leadership,ā€ saying he had achieved more in one term than many presidents do in two.

    I would have preferred if her first statement was about stomping out fascism and restoring and cementing abortion rights, rather than ā€œwinning and earning the nominationā€ā€¦

    That said: big q for me is who sheā€™ll pick as vp!
