Earlier this morning, the Virginia Delegation of the Democratic National Convention officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. They released the following statement:

“Last night, the Virginia Delegation to the 2024 Democratic National Convention met virtually and among voting delegates, unanimously voted to join President Joe Biden in endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 Democratic nomination for President of the United States.

“At this critical time, our 119-person delegation joins President Biden in giving our unequivocal endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris. Our delegation knows that Vice President Harris is the right choice and leader not only to unify our party, but our country,” DPVA Chairwoman Susan Swecker said. “The Virginia Democratic Delegation is thrilled to cast our votes for her historic nomination and support an incredible former senator and prosecutor in defeating convict Donald Trump this November.”

This comes on the announcement late last night that Harris, who is expected to be the official nominee at next month’s national convention, received the endorsement of more than 1,900 delegates. In addition, there was the Win With Black Women Zoom call on Sunday which featured more than 47,000 attendees, raising approximately $2 million dollars in support. Yesterday, Black men showed their support with the Win With Black Men Zoom call, hosted by The Black Star Network’s Roland Martin, Hon. Michael Blake, Khalil Thompson, Bakari Sellers, and Collective PAC Co-Founder Quentin James. According to Black Virginia News, about 53,860 people registered for the call, raising $1.3 million dollars at press time.

Tomorrow evening, the PWCDC Latino Caucus will hold a rally not only in support of Harris, but to bring further awareness of Project 2025.
