A strong field of contenders faced off in the 2020 Democratic Presidential primary. In October 2019, I endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden. At the time, he was polling in fourth place. I felt that, among the field of outstanding candidates, Biden alone could unite the majority of the nation against Donald Trump, and that he alone possessed the wisdom, skill, and understanding we would need in order to govern with vision in a time of chaos and division.
Joe Biden did unite the party, he did draw independent voters, and he did defeat Donald Trump. And as President, Joe Biden delivered progress for the nation far beyond all expectations.
I now endorse Vice President Kamala Harris to be the next Democrat to defeat Donald Trump and the next Democrat to lead our nation in a time of tumult and opportunity.
n every meaningful way, Kamala Harris presents the stark contrast to Trump that will win the election – her respect for democratic institutions to his contempt for democracy itself, her coherent communication to his lunatic rambling, her intelligence to his foolishness, her personal experience and empathy to his selfish, vulgar detachment from nearly everyone and everything.
Importantly, among many strong potential contenders, Harris alone possesses the wisdom and skill – born of experience in the White House – necessary to govern with vision in a time of chaos and division, and to lead the nation in its vital role on the world stage.
