Maryland’s delegation to the Democratic National Convention unanimously endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic party’s nominee for president of the United States during a virtual meeting Monday.
Harris’s endorsement came after President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race on Sunday and endorsed Harris to succeed him.
During the virtual meeting, the Maryland Delegation joined Biden and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore in backing Harris as their choice for the Democratic nomination.
“Vice President Kamala Harris possesses experience that uniquely qualifies her to serve as President of the United States, a strong track record of delivering for the American people on the heels of the Biden-Harris Administration, and the leadership to unite the party through this unprecedented time,” said Maryland Democratic Party Chair Ken Ulman. “The Maryland Democratic Delegation stands unanimously behind her candidacy, eager to cast our votes for her and campaign vigorously for a historic victory this November.”

The Maryland Delegation, Moore and the Maryland Democratic Party also applauded Biden for his achievements while in office, specifically for his commitment to public service, leadership during the pandemic, and his choice not to seek the Democratic nomination for president.
Maryland’s Democratic convention delegates will cast their votes for Harris during the Democratic National Convention set to be held in Chicago on Aug. 19-22.
Great job!
