WASHINGTON (Reuters) -State Democratic party chairs on Sunday threw their weight behind Vice President Kamala Harris to be the party’s new presidential nominee to run against Republican nominee and former president, Donald Trump.
The chairs held a conference call after President Joe Biden announced he was stepping aside as the party’s candidate.
“Following President Biden’s announcement, our members immediately assembled to unite behind the candidate who has a track record of winning tough elections, and who is a proven leader on the issues that matter to Americans: reproductive freedom, gun violence prevention, climate protection, justice reform, and rebuilding the economy,” said Ken Martin, president of the Association of State Democratic Committees, in a statement.

Holder: Just how much money is currently in the Biden campaign coffers compared to Trump?
Davison: So just on the raw dollar total, they’re not too far apart. So the Biden campaign has $96 million. The Trump campaign has $128 million. So Trump is ahead, not a massive amount. The thing that’s a real differentiator here is that Biden’s fundraising has totally fallen off a cliff.
The other thing is just how much they’re spending. In the month of June, this is even, you know, before a lot of the debate stuff started percolating, Democrats spent 93 percent of the money that they brought in compared to Trump, who was spending less than half. So just the burn rate there is, is a massive difference.
