Summary
Senator Angus King of Maine has officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic presidential nomination. His endorsement, shared on Instagram, highlights his personal experiences with Harris during their time together on the Senate Intelligence Committee, where he praised her skills as a questioner and her commitment to truth and democracy.
King described Harris as “quick and whip-smart,” noting her non-partisan approach and her passion for the issues at hand. His support comes as the election approaches, with early voting set to begin soon in Maine. While King’s endorsement aligns with his history of criticizing former President Donald Trump, it also reflects a broader trend of Democratic leaders rallying behind Harris after she ascended to the top of the ticket this summer.
