Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C. spoke to the 2024 Democratic National Convention to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, throwing his support behind the replacement of longtime ally President Joe Biden.
Clyburn helped coalesce the party around Biden after he won the state's primary in 2020. He backed Biden while the President remained in the race after the first presidential debate and endorsed Harris after Biden dropped out.
"For President Biden's lifetime of achievement, his lifetime of service to his country, we are all grateful," Clyburn said.
The Democratic National Committee convention is in Chicago through Thursday and Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday is scheduled to formally accept the party's nomination for the 2024 Election.
