Two top House Democrats throw support behind Harris

A pair of House Democratic leaders endorsed Vice President Harris’s White House bid on Monday, adding to her momentum as the front-runner for the Democratic nomination.

House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) and Democratic Whip Catherine Clark (D-Mass.) both threw their support behind Harris after President Biden decided to end his reelection bid on Sunday.

“I know Kamala to be a fierce advocate for working families and a tough-minded prosecutor who knows right from wrong,” Aguilar said in a statement.
