Democratic convention delegates from Kentucky have “overwhelmingly voted” to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee following a request from Gov. Andy Beshear to do so.?

The endorsement, announced in a Monday morning press release, follows Beshear’s national TV appearance earlier the same morning in which he personally endorsed Harris to be the presidential nominee and fielded questions about his interest in joining the ticket.

Kentucky Democratic Party Chairman Colmon Elridge in a statement said Harris has been a “proven partner” to President Joe Biden and attacked the Republican presidential ticket as “relying on fear to drive a wedge between you and your neighbor.”?

“She has a remarkable record of public service, from tackling housing costs as a U.S. Senator to protecting consumers as California’s chief law enforcement office. Vice President Harris is ready to serve as president on Day 1 and finish the job that Joe Biden started,” Elridge said. “Now more than ever, we must work hand in hand to elect Kamala Harris. The stakes this November — for both our beloved Commonwealth and our country — are too high.”

Reuters reported Sunday all 50 state Democratic party chairs had endorsed Harris to be the nominee. Beshear is reportedly among a list of candidates Harris is considering to be her potential running mate along with fellow Democratic governors Roy Cooper of North Carolina and Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, who have also endorsed her.
