Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) has endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
Harris, who dropped out of the race in December, announced her endorsement in a video posted to Twitter on Sunday.
“There is no one better prepared than Joe to steer our nation through these turbulent times, and restore truth, honor, and decency to the Oval Office,” she said in a statement. “He is kind and endlessly caring, and he truly listens to the American people.”

Harris is the latest former Democratic presidential candidate to throw their support behind Biden. Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) endorsed him after suspending their campaigns just ahead of Super Tuesday.
Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who ended his bid for the White house in November, also recently endorsed the former vice president.
Biden appeared to hint at Harris’ imminent endorsement during a campaign rally Saturday in St. Louis.
“To all of Amy’s folks, to all of Pete’s folks, to all of Kamala’s folks, to all of the folks who have, Beto’s folks, I’ll tell you what, what a gigantic difference it’s made,” he told the crowd. “We’re gonna unite this party and unite this country.”
