Kamala Harris endorses Joe Biden for president

Kamala Harris endorsed Joe Biden on Sunday and said she would "do everything in my power'' to help elect him, becoming the latest dropout from the Democratic race for president to line up behind the former vice president in his battle with Bernie Sanders for the nomination.

The decision by the California senator who was one of three black candidates seeking to challenge President Donald Trump further solidifies the Democratic establishment's move to close circles around Biden after his Super Tuesday success.

Her endorsements comes before the next round of primaries, with six states voting Tuesday, including Michigan.

“There is no one better prepared than Joe to steer our nation through these turbulent times, and restore truth, honor, and decency to the Oval Office," Harris said in a statement.

Harris withdrew from the race in December, ending a candidacy with the historic potential of becoming the first black woman elected president.
