Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for President of the United States in the 2024 election.

She highlighted Harris's astuteness in politics and expressed confidence in her ability to lead the Democratic Party to victory in November. Pelosi's endorsement, given with 'immense pride,' is seen as a significant consolidation of support within the Democratic Party for Harris's presidential bid.
