My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

Change will only happen if media keeps corporations accountable for their promises/pledges. Thank you @CMichelCarter & @ForbesWomen for shining a light on the reality of what it's like to be a #BlackWoman in #corporateAmerica. #Thread

If passed by Minneapolis voters, City Question 2 would eliminate minimum funding requirements for police staffing and give oversight of a new public safety department to the mayor and city council. #sunrisers
