Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for their party's presidential nomination.

Schumer said in a news conference with Jeffries Tuesday that President Joe Biden’s “selfless decision” not to run “has given the Democratic Party the opportunity to unite behind a new nominee.”

He said the leaders waited to endorse Harris until she had secured the support of enough  delegates to become her party’s nominee against Republican Donald Trump.

Biden said Sunday that he would not run.

Schumer said he spoke to Harris on Sunday and she wanted to win the nomination “on her own.” Jeffries added that Harris is “ready, willing and able to lead us into the future.”
