Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries endorse Kamala Harris as Dem nominee

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) are set to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday, The Post has learned, becoming the last senior Democrats to embrace their party’s presumptive nominee.

The pair will announce their support for Harris at a press conference on Capitol Hill this afternoon after saying she was “off to a great start” on Monday in securing delegates from President Biden.

Harris clinched 2,214 Democratic delegates on Monday, according to a survey conducted by the Associated Press, surpassing the minimum of 1,976 needed to receive her party’s nomination.

[nobodynobody]

Wow, everyone seemed real enthusiastic at the end. 😂

[ionskull]

Americas democracy. 1980s and 90s leaders still hold power in 2024.

Why are these Dems always clenching their fists ? @ 0:03
I'm not impressed and it doesn't make them appear more sincere. It's been going on for a few years now.

Did you see Chuck's overwhelming enthusiasm to have Kamala as the Democrats' nominee? Did you see how heartfelt Chuck was in praising his president Biden?

[kdees]

Notice how when the announcement came out in front of the liberal media no one clapped, gasped, or did anything. (Crickets)

[rluellam]

What a joke. So they decided to toe the party line. They are the worst.

[rconnor]

There was no applause for Harris. Watch the longer version which was cut here. No one but Chuck applauded.

[TheDizzyrizzy]

So much for their concern about demcracy eh???

[FakeName-ejjw]

I'm clapping, you don't have to

[nickmars]

That’s cool but how many of his constituents voted for her in a primary?

[tekkenjam]

Low energy (please clap) Jeb Bush moment of the democratic party. Hilarious.

[cjwynn]

This isn't the original. In the original speech at the end he looked out at the crowd and said "applause?", but nothing but crickets then he was pushed aside by the Speaker.

[JesseTheMindless]

You can feel the enthusiasm as nobody claps😂

[anticom]

Such genuine enthusiasm. Absolutely electric

[GodFamilyCountry]

😂 He thought he was such a great actor that he could make everyone get excited. 😂

[andythedrummer]

“We are so excited that the greatest man who ever lived, Joe Biden, has stepped down! So honorable! So selfless! So patriotic!!!!” So why is he stepping down?
