Democratic leaders have quickly rallied behind Harris, believing she has the energy and drive needed for a successful campaign. With potential running mates like Pete Buttigieg and Gretchen Whitmer, Harris’ campaign is well-positioned to maintain its momentum and capitalize on the enthusiasm of her diverse support base.
