The Democratic Party appears to be overwhelmingly rallying behind Kamala Harris after Joe Biden’s stunning decision to drop out of the presidential race.

Following a conference call on Sunday, all 50 Democratic state chairs confirmed that they would be supporting her candidacy following Biden’s endorsement of his vice-president.

Ken Martin, president of the Association of State Democratic Committees, said in a statement:

Following President Biden’s announcement, our members immediately assembled to unite behind the candidate who has a track record of winning tough elections, and who is a proven leader on the issues that matter to Americans: reproductive freedom, gun violence prevention, climate protection, justice reform, and rebuilding the economy. That person is our sitting Vice President Kamala Harris.

While many other Democrats have endorsed Harris in the immediate wake of Biden’s withdrawal, others have noticeably stayed quiet.

The most prominent of these include former President Barack Obama and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, both of whom are yet to issue a formal endorsement.
