The Lincoln Project has wasted no time putting out a video ushering in Kamala Harris for President of the United States!
NGL, the beginning made me teary.
We owe President Biden so much gratitude!
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

I applaud the House for passing the American Dream and Promise Act. If the Senate follows suit, we would enact the most significant immigration legislation since 1986. As the original sponsor of the Dream Act, I hope we seize this moment.
Big shout out to our friends in the GA who passed HB 2790 HA1 out of committee. This is @CookCoDefender's immigration bill that gives our office discretion to represent clients in immigration court...
