These Massachusetts Dems are backing Kamala Harris for president

Massachusetts Democrats are joining the chorus of politicians endorsing Kamala Harris for president.

Why it matters: The vice president is seeing a groundswell of support from the Democratic establishment nationwide, dampening calls for a competitive convention.

The latest: Gov. Maura Healey endorsed Harris Monday afternoon, saying she will reduce costs, create jobs and "make sure every woman has access to the health care she needs."

• Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll announced her endorsement of Harris around the same time.
• As governor and LG, Healey and Driscoll are delegates.
• Their endorsements came after much of the Massachusetts congressional delegation and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi backed Harris.

Catch up quick: Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Ed Markey and Rep. Ayanna Presley, all delegates, were among the first Massachusetts politicians to endorse Harris, after president Joe Biden withdrew from the race Sunday.

• Harris' campaign raised a record $81 million in the first 24 hours of her candidacy.
