Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the top of the Democratic presidential ticket a day after President Joe Biden dropped his reelection bid.

Biden, along with a cavalcade of other Democrats, endorsed Harris for president on Sunday. Pelosi was one of a few prominent Democrats who did not endorse Harris on Sunday, but in a statement issued Monday, she endorsed the vice president “with immense pride and limitless optimism for our country’s future.”

“Personally I have known Kamala Harris for decades as rooted in strong values, faith and a commitment to public service,” Pelosi said. “Politically, make no mistake: Kamala Harris as a woman in politics is brilliantly astute — and I have full confidence that she will lead us to victory in November.”
