Indiana's DNC Delegation votes to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris' candidacy for President

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- In a virtual call held tonight, July 22, Indiana's DNC Delegation voted unanimously to support Vice President Kamala Harris' candidacy for President. 

Indiana's 88 delegates, originally pledged to Joe Biden based on the results of the Indiana Democratic Primary in May, are now unbound to any specific candidate after his decision to leave the race and have voted to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. 

“Vice President Kamala Harris has already made history by serving in our nation’s second-highest office. She is tenacious, skilled, and powerful, and we are proud to endorse her as the next President of the United States so that she can continue the legacy of unprecedented job growth, historically low unemployment, and fighting for reproductive freedom in all 50 states,” said Indiana Democratic Party Chair Mike Schmuhl.

In a separate vote, Indiana's Democratic State Central Committee has unanimously passed resolutions honoring President Biden and endorsing Harris to replace the President on the ballot. 

Schmuhl continues, "As she served by President Biden’s side these past three and a half years, America has had the privilege of watching her continuously fight for the rights of marginalized individuals and working families. Our party stands behind her at this moment, and we are ready to work to usher in a new generation of leadership in our state and nation – and defeat Trumpism at the ballot box once more.”
