After working behind the scenes to get Joe Biden off the ticket, the powerful former House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, endorsed Kamala Harris for president on Monday.
"My enthusiastic support for Kamala Harris for President is official, personal and political," Pelosi said in a statement.
The powerful California Democrat's endorsement came a full day after Harris became an official candidate for president. Biden abandoned his reelection bid and threw his weight—and campaign coffers—behind Harris, which unleashed a historic torrent of individual donations to the new Harris campaign.
