Kamala Harris's signature

Kamala Harris officially announced her 2024 campaign for president on July 21, 2024, following President Joe Biden withdrawing his bid for reelection and endorsing her.[1][2][3]

Harris had previously run for president in 2020, and had widely been considered a "high profile" candidate for the 2020 presidential primaries since 2016.[4][5][6][7][8] Harris withdrew her 2020 campaign on December 3, 2019,[9][10] endorsed Joe Biden on March 8, 2020,[11] and was chosen by Biden to be his running mate on August 11, 2020.[12] Biden and Harris would go on to win the general election and she would become the first female vice president of the United States.[13]

If elected, Harris would become the first female, first Asian-American, and second Black American president of the United States, as well as the third president from the state of California.[14]

Background

Main article: Withdrawal of Joe Biden from the 2024 United States presidential election
Harris's statement announcing her candidacy

The first presidential debate, held on June 27, 2024, sparked concerns about then-presumptive Democratic nominee and incumbent President Joe Biden's age and fitness to serve a second term.[15] Following pressure from other Democrats Biden withdrew from the election on July 21, 2024, and endorsed Harris as his successor.[16]

On the same day, Harris announced her intention to run for the Democratic nomination,[17] and the "Biden for President" campaign committee filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to change the name of the committee to "Harris for President."[18]
