SAVANAH, GEORGIA: Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris recently revealed in an interview that 'It was clear' President Joe Biden was going to endorse her despite her not asking for it.

President Joe Biden stepped down from the Presidential race in July after a dismal debate performance against GOP presidential nominee Trump in June and endorsed Kamala Harris as the new pick, according to The Wrap.

During an interview with CNN's Dana Bash, Kamala Harris praised Joe Biden and said, "He has the intelligence, the commitment, and the judgment and disposition that I think the American people rightly deserve in their president."

Bash asked Harris about the phone call between Biden and her when he officially decided to withdraw his candidacy. Harris said her extended family was staying with her and the President gave her a call after breakfast. 



 

She said, "It was clear he was going to support me." Harris added that she asked Biden if he was sure of his decision, and he said yes. She further praised Biden and said, "History is going to show that in so many ways it was transformative."

She added, "Not only has Joe Biden led an administration that has achieved those extraordinary successes, but the character of the man is one that he has been, in his life and career, including as a president, quite selfless and puts the American people first."
