In a statement on the 22nd (local time), former Speaker Pelosi said, "My support for Harris is official, personal, and political," adding, "I am confident that she will lead us to victory in November."

Former Speaker Pelosi said, "I have witnessed Kamala Harris's strength and courage as an advocate for working families," and "especially her fight for women's reproductive rights." She continued, "Kamala Harris is a person rooted in decades of strong values, faith, and dedication to public service," and praised her as "a very smart female politician."

Pelosi emphasized that the Democratic Party's strength lies in its diversity, stating, "Now we must unite and move forward to overwhelmingly defeat Donald Trump and enthusiastically elect Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States."

The day before, President Joe Biden officially announced his decision not to seek re-election and expressed support for Vice President Harris. Following this, senior Democratic lawmakers, potential presidential candidates, and major donors have successively declared their support for Vice President Harris, spreading a "Harris momentum" within the party. Former President Barack Obama, who has been urging Biden's withdrawal behind the scenes, has yet to reveal whether he supports Vice President Harris.
