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.

Aside from her work for the Republicans, she is known to have taken public stands in support of Sikh issues.

I was delighted to be invited and attend an interfaith Iftar at the Masjid Bilal Mosque where I learnt many interesting facts about Ramadan. Strictly Kosher food was arranged for me and the other Jewish guests. @cllralanquinn – at Manchester, England
