NEW YORK – Today, New York’s delegation to the 2024 Democratic National Convention voted to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination for President.
During a virtual meeting this evening, Governor Hochul and leaders from the New York State Democratic Party applauded President Biden for his courage and patriotism, and rallied support for Vice President Harris as the Democratic nominee.
“As the state with the second most Democratic delegates in the country, I’m so proud of New York’s delegation for joining me to support Vice President Harris,” said Governor Kathy Hochul. “Vice President Harris is a proven leader with the experience, skills, and moral clarity necessary to lead and there is no one better prepared to prosecute the case against Donald Trump. I’ve made it clear that Trump is the greatest threat to America’s future and I will continue doing everything in my power to defeat him in November.”
