Two of the top considerations bandied about as potential replacements for President Biden endorsed Kamala Harris on Monday.
Democratic Govs. JB Pritzker (Illinois) and Gretchen Whitmer (Michigan) released statements of support for the current Vice President and Biden’s choice to receive the Democratic presidential nomination.
“Vice President Harris has proven, at every point in her career, that she possesses the skills, strength, and character to lead this country and the vision to better the lives of all Americans, wrote Gov. Pritzker on social media platform X.
“From protecting women’s rights to defending American workers and strengthening the middle class, Vice President Harris is a champion of the American values we hold dear. She represents our Party’s best chance to defeat Donald Trump in November, and I will work my heart out to help her do that.”

In her statement, Gov. Whitmer wrote, “Today, I am fired up to endorse Kamala Harris for President of the United States.
“In Vice President Harris, Michigan voters have a presidential candidate they can count on to focus on lowering their costs, restoring their freedoms, bringing jobs and supply chains back home from overseas, and building an economy that works for working people. She’s a former prosecutor, a champion for reproductive freedom, and I know that she’s got Michigan’s back.”
