US Vice President and Democratic party nominee for Presidential elections, Kamala Harris held discussions with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and told him that it is time to get a ceasefire "deal done," adding that she "will not be silent" about the suffering in Gaza, reported CNN.
White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean Pierre emphasised that no one is more qualified to step in as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee than US Vice President Kamala Harris.
Declaring victory in her quest to secure the party's backing for the upcoming election, Harris released a statement on social media, asserting that she is proud and that she intends to defeat Donald Trump.
As of Monday evening, more than 300 former Harris staffers from various roles including the White House, her campaign, California Attorney General's office, and San Francisco District Attorney's office have signed on.
Kamala Harris said she will "proudly" put her record against Trump's. She recalled her days as a prosecutor in the Alameda County District Attorney's office in California.
US Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday made her first public appearance after Joe Biden exited the US Presidential race and endorsed her as the Democratic Party's nominee, reported CNN.
This concentrated effort on Capitol Hill underscores Harris's strategy to rapidly advance her presidential campaign following Biden's unexpected withdrawal from the race amidst mounting pressure after a contentious debate performance last month.
