Biden Endorses Harris as Democratic Presidential Nominee

A major political happening occurred: President Joe Biden has endorsed vice president kamala harris to be the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee in the next election. The announcement was made during a White House event with NCAA athletes, and her public appearance following the endorsement. Kamala Harris previously ran for president in the 2020 elections but withdrew early on in the race due to her low poll numbers. Much of the lawsuit against Harris stems from her record as a San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general, with some believing her to be relatively punitive with “prosecution of convictions.” However, her tenure as a U.S. senator showed a significant transition to the progressive side, most notably with calls to defund the police and decriminalize illegal immigration.

Arguably the most controversial part of the endorsement is the fact that the Democratic Party is in essence pushing Harris as the presidential nominee without any encouragement or indication of the primary voters. This essentially means the party is positioning her in spite of the people’s vote, in direct contradiction to the notion of government “by the people.” Going forward, it is clear this move will be the central focus of national political discussions, and Harris’s candidacy will be the subject of constant partisan strife as representative of the broader concept and debate of effective administration and governance.
