With President Joe Biden not running for reelection, Democrats will have to nominate someone else at their convention.
"The Louisiana delegates just voted and endorsed Kamala Harris as the nominee for President of the United States," New Orleans City Councilwoman Helena Moreno posted Sunday night.
She says President Biden fought hard and delivered.
"Now he passed the torch to VP Kamala Harris who is the obvious, unifying and exciting choice for nominee to win the presidency."
A news release from the party said, "The Louisiana delegation to the Democratic National Convention met virtually, and by an overwhelming majority vote, officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be our 2024 Democratic Presidential Nominee."
Louisiana Democratic Party Chair Randal Gaines, who also chairs the Louisiana delegation to the convention, released the following:
“We are grateful to President Joe Biden for his remarkable leadership, and we are committed to honoring his legacy by working tirelessly this fall to keep the White House in Democratic hands. I am proud to share that Louisiana’s Democratic delegates will join President Biden in endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as our nominee. It’s time we come together, and by throwing our full support behind her, we can beat Donald Trump again and continue Joe Biden’s legacy of accomplishments and progress for our country. We look forward to a productive, energizing, and historic convention in which we nominate the first black woman as our Democratic nominee.”
