Kamala Harris is launching her White House bid pretty much where Joe Biden left off: a few points behind Donald Trump nationally. Democrats obviously hope that Harris' presidential campaign rollout will change how voters view her and this race, producing a meaningful polling improvement. And a new poll from Reuters/Ipsos (showing Harris at 44% among registered voters and Trump at 42%) very modestly, and tentatively, gives fuel to their optimism.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the second-ranking Senate Democrat, on Monday endorsed Vice President Harris to replace Joe Biden at the top of the ticket.

More than 1,400 Black women leaders and allies told the Democratic Party in a letter on Wednesday that their support for President Joe Biden will not waver despite the crescendo of Dems calling for him to drop out. Democratic heavy-hitters like Carol Moseley Braun–the first Black woman elected to the U.S. Senate–Keisha Lance Bottoms, the former mayor of Atlanta, signed the letter. They reminded Democrats that their support is key, as Black women are the most consistent block of Democratic voters. The letter condemns calls from Dem detractors that think Biden should withdraw after his presidential debate performance and the series of gaffe-filled interviews the president’s campaign scheduled afterwards to clean up his slipping poll numbers. This week alone, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA.) became the most high-profile Democrat to ask Biden to drop out while reports surfaced that Barack Obama, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) are encouraging him to bow out to preserve Democrats seats further down the ballot.Read it at The HillRead more at The Daily Beast.
