WASHINGTON DC – Vice President Kamala Harris, in the first rally of her 2024 presidential campaign, told supporters in Wisconsin that she will spend the coming weeks “continuing to unite our party” ahead of the Democratic National Convention next month and this fall’s showdown with Donald Trump.

If selected, Harris would be the first Black woman and first Asian American to lead the ticket of a major political party. The Democratic National Committee said it is moving forward with a process that will determine the party’s presidential nominee by August 7.

The Trump campaign on Tuesday filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission arguing money raised for President Joe Biden’s reelection bid cannot be transferred to Harris’ campaign. Earlier, the former president also said he wants to debate Harris but hasn’t yet agreed to any specific debates. The president will deliver a speech Wednesday on his decision to drop out of the 2024 race and endorse Harris.

Following an uncharacteristic dry spell of celebrity support for President Joe Biden that persisted for months as he sought a second term, Hollywood has been reignited and is ready to back the party’s new presumptive nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, as she fights against former President Donald Trump.

“My phone is blowing up,” a source close to the Harris campaign told CNN of the sudden influx of Hollywood calls. “I don’t even have time to answer my phone.” One celebrity publicist told CNN that campaign managers are “typically begging” talent representatives to get their clients to participate in politics, but said that over the past 48 hours since Biden stepped aside and endorsed Harris, it’s nearly impossible to get through to the White House.
