Vice President Kamala Harris said Sunday that her intention is to "earn and win" the Democratic nomination for president after President Joe Biden announced he would not continue his re-election campaign for 2024.

"On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country," Harris wrote on the social media platform, X.

"I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination," she continued.

Harris has received the endorsement of Biden, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Harris also posted a link to donate to her campaign that stated, "I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party—and unite our nation—to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda. If you’re with me, add a donation right now."

Whoever the Democratic nominee is will face Trump and GOP vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance in November.
