BOISE, Idaho — The Idaho Democratic Party Convention and its delegates have unanimously endorsed Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate for President of the United States.
Harris received support from Idaho's 27 delegates.
Idaho Democratic Party Chair Lauren Necochea released the following statement on their support for the Vice President.
“Idaho Democrats are united in our support of Kamala Harris as the next President of the United States. This November, voters face a clear choice between MAGA authoritarianism that will keep stripping away our freedoms and a future where we have a say over the decisions impacting our lives. Harris is uniquely positioned to make this argument, having been an unrelenting champion of our freedoms, especially when it comes to abortion care. Our enthusiasm is why MAGA Republicans are panicking, stuck with a candidate found guilty of 34 felonies and rape by a jury, who chose one of the most extreme and inexperienced politicians as his running mate. Idaho Democrats are fired up and ready to get to work because the stakes in this election couldn’t be higher.”
Harris has enough delegates to become the party's nominee, but it won't become official until delegates vote at the Democratic National Convention in August.
If Harris becomes the Democratic nominee, she will face former president Donald Trump, who is the Republican nominee, in this year's election, which is set for Tuesday, November 5.
