Editorial: El País

  • Joe Biden has decided not to run in the upcoming U.S. presidential election and has endorsed Kamala Harris.
  • Harris has gained extensive support within the Democratic Party, including the Clintons, governors, lawmakers, and most recently Nancy Pelosi.
  • It is essential for the Democratic Party to remain united to have a chance of defeating Trump in November.
  • Harris, with her experience as vice president and access to Biden's campaign funds, is a reasonable choice.
  • There is symbolic value in the potential presidency of a progressive woman, black, and of Asian descent.
  • Biden's successor should continue his legacy of defending the middle and working classes, commitment to Ukraine and Europe, and defense of women's rights.

Conclusion: Given the threat of a second Trump presidency, it is paramount for the Democratic Party to have maximum unity, whether it is with Harris or another candidate.
