- Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden gained two more endorsements from onetime backers of rival Kamala Harris’ campaign, a sign of early strength in consolidating support after the U.S. senator left the race.
Biden’s campaign on Thursday announced the endorsement of two former mayors of Dover, New Hampshire, Jack Buckley and William Boc, who had supported Harris. New Hampshire hosts Democrats’ second presidential nominating contest in February. Still, many key Harris supporters, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, have made no choice yet. Former Harris supporter and San Jose, California, Mayor Sam Liccardo backed ex-New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s bid for the White House on Monday.
Within days of Harris dropping out, however, Biden’s campaign can claim progress. Former Harris supporters now with Biden include former Richland County, South Carolina, Council Chair Bernice Scott and six others from the senator’s home state of California, including Assembly member Autumn Burke, Assembly Democratic Caucus Chair Mike Gipson and Democratic National Committee member Bob Mulholland.
