VP Harris Is Ready To Earn and Win Democratic Nomination

Following President Biden’s decision not to seek reelection, Vice President Harris is ready to “earn and win” the Democratic nomination. She is the one best positioned to unite our party and beat Donald Trump.

VP Harris is the most qualified person to serve as President.

  • VP Harris has spent the past four years as a governing partner to the most experienced president in American history.

  • She has helped pass and implement historic legislation, and strengthen America’s national security through her travels to more than 20 countries and meetings with over 150 world leaders. If elected President, she would enter that office with more significant national security experience than any of the four presidents prior to President Biden.

  • Her record as VP builds on a distinguished career as District Attorney, Attorney General, and United States Senator from the nation’s largest state.

VP Harris is the candidate best positioned to beat Donald Trump.

  • No one is better prepared than VP Harris to prosecute the case against Donald Trump.

  • She is the party’s leading messenger on reproductive freedom and will ensure that Trump’s role in overturning Roe is front and center in this election.

  • Her work as a prosecutor makes her the ultimate contrast to Trump, the convicted felon.

  • She represents the next generation of the Democratic Party and can make the issue of age and fitness a liability for Trump.

  • Vice President Harris has already generated strong support from advocates for reproductive rights, democracy, young voters, LGBTQ+ rights, and unions.

Even before she has had the chance to focus the public’s attention on her background, polling shows VP Harris is in a strong position to beat Trump.

  • Many polls already show VP Harris beating Trump outright.

  • She leads Trump among Independents.

  • VP Harris is well positioned to mobilize key constituencies of the Democratic coalition, including young voters, Black voters, Latino voters, and women.

  • Multiple polls show she is the overwhelming favorite among Democratic voters to represent the Democratic Party in the general election, making her the best candidate to unite and lead the party.

VP Harris is battle-tested and has been taking the fight to Donald Trump for years.

  • Vice President Harris was part of the only ticket to ever beat Trump, earning 81 million votes in 2020 as Joe Biden’s running mate.

  • Over the last several months, more than 14 million voters supported President Biden in the primary knowing Vice President Harris would be the person to step in for him if needed.

  • The VP has been campaigning for over a year in more than 20 states and has raised tens of millions of dollars for the campaign.

VP Harris is best positioned to hit the ground running with the campaign’s existing resources and infrastructure, rather than waiting months to take the fight to Trump.

  • She can immediately tap the campaign’s nearly $96 million in cash-on-hand. The campaign has already filed paperwork to re-designate the committee as “Harris for President,” and senior leadership held a call with staff today to stress the campaign’s commitment to supporting VP Harris and defeating Trump.

While Vice President Harris is proud to have President Biden’s endorsement, she is committed to earning this nomination in her own right.

  • This nomination process, like all others before it, will be settled based on which candidate can secure a majority of the pledged delegates to the Democratic convention.

  • In the coming days and weeks, the Vice President plans to be out across the country to campaign and win the support of as many pledged delegates as possible.
