Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, the top two Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill, will endorse Kamala Harris in her presidential bid as soon as Monday, according to multiple sources familiar with the decision.
With this new development, the vice president is gradually marching to the Democratic nomination as broad swaths of the party — including potential rivals, lawmakers, governors, influential labor and advocacy groups and more — line up behind her bid to take on Donald Trump.
With the party’s best-known governors, several of whom had been seen as potential challengers, announced their support for her, the biggest remaining question now is who she will choose as her running mate.
