California Gov. Gavin Newsom has thrown his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris following President Joe Biden dropping out of the presidential race late Sunday afternoon.
Newsom, in a post on X, called Harris "tough, fearless, and tenacious" and said no one is "better to prosecute the case against Donald Trump's dark vision and guide our country in a healthier direction than America's Vice President."
Newsom joins former President Bill Clinton and wife and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in offering a full-throated endorsement of Harris. Other members of the Democratic Party, including former President Barack Obama, have stopped short of endorsing her candidacy.
