Vice President Kamala Harris is at an inflection point that months ago seemed almost impossible: With President Joe Biden exiting the race on Sunday and endorsing her to succeed him, she has a wide-open door to take the mantle as the Democratic presidential nominee.

After campaigning in 2019 for the title, Harris is in the running again.

“I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination,” she said in a statement.
