Kamala Harris](https://time.com/5743293/kamala-harris-drops-out-2020-campaign/) endorsed Joe Biden on Sunday, saying she would do “everything in (her) power” to help elect him in his presidential bid. “I believe in Joe,” Harris said in [a video statement posted on Twitter](https://twitter.com/KamalaHarris/status/1236622740930560001?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw). “He is a public servant who has always worked for the best of who we are as a nation and we need that right now.” > [](https://twitter.com/KamalaHarris/status/1236622740930560001) > [](https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1236623516226785283) Harris, who left the presidential race in December citing a lack of financial resources, previously had tense encounters with Biden on the debate stage — most notably over the [issue of busing and Biden’s civil rights record](https://time.com/5616709/joe-biden-busing-democratic-debate/). She criticized his position on busing and school desegregation in the 1970s and brought up her own experience being bused to a different school. Biden said he [wasn’t ready for Harris to “come after” him](https://time.com/5620970/joe-biden-kamala-harris-desegregaton-busing-debates/) in that way. After Harris’ exit from the race, Biden praised her capabilities, even saying he would[ consider her as a potential pick for Vice President](https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/04/politics/joe-biden-kamala-harris-vp-pick/index.html). Sen. Bernie Sanders also nabbed a key endorsement on Sunday: civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson. Jackson said he chose Sanders after the Vermont senator’s campaign offered responses on issues important to Jackson, including protecting voting rights, committing to putting an African American woman on the Supreme Court and increasing funding for historically black colleges and universities, according to an endorsement statement from Jackson included in a Sanders campaign email. Jackson’s statement noted that, “The Biden campaign has not reached out to me or asked for my support.” The Sanders campaign said that Jackson would speak later in the day at an event with the senator in Grand Rapids, Mich. > [](https://twitter.com/ninaturner/status/1236639664578146306) Sanders said on ABC News on Sunday that his presidential bid had the “support of virtually every major grassroots organization.” > [](https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1236633841089028099) “We’re not going to get the support of most elected leaders: not most governors, not most senators but we are winning the support of grassroots America because we have an agenda that speaks to working people,” Sanders said. Harris’s endorsement of Biden follows pledges to support the former Vice President from other dropouts from the Democratic primaries, including Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg, Beto O’Rourke and Mike Bloomberg. Former Democratic candidates for President Marianne Williamson and Bill de Blasio have endorsed Sanders. ## Transcript Democrats are lining up to run against Donald Trump. [ MUSIC ] With the 2020 election still a ways away, an unusually large number of candidates have announced they are running or hinted strongly that they will. Here's a look at some of the major names who have joined the race so far. [ MUSIC ] As a law professor, Warren helped create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Before joining the Senate in 2012. She's long advocated for tougher rules on banks and corporations and pocketbook issues like student loan reform. A former member of the House from upstate New York, Gillibrand has moved to the left since taking Hillary Clinton's old Senate seat in 2009. In announcing her run, she cited her experience as a young mom. A former state legislator and US representative, Brown has represented Ohio in the Senate since 2006. He will be pushing a brand of Midwestern liberalism that mixes Trump's skepticism of trade agreements with Warren's concerns about Wall Street. An Iraq veteran and former state lawmaker, Gabbard was the first Hindu elected to Congress. But her past opposition to gay marriage and interactions with Syrian dictator Bashar al- Assad make her a long shot in the Democratic primary. [ MUSIC ] The former mayor of San Antonio and Housing and Urban Development secretary, Castro has an unusual resume for a presidential candidate. But he believes his arguments on hot- button issues like immigration can help him break out.
