A person familiar with Vice President Harris' day tells reporters she "had multiple phone conversations with the president prior to his announcement that he would not be seeking reelection and would instead endorse her."
- 📱 "Surrounded by family and staff at the Vice President's Residence, she spent more than 10 hours Sunday placing calls to over 100 party leaders, Members of Congress, governors, labor leaders, and leaders of advocacy and civil rights organizations. On each of those calls, the Vice President made clear that she was extremely grateful for the President's endorsement, but plans to work hard to earn the Democratic nomination in her own right."
"One of the calls was to her pastor, Amos C. Brown, who, along with his wife [Jane E. Brown], prayed over her," the person added.
- 🍕 "Throughout the day, the Vice President wore a hooded Howard University sweatshirt, workout sweats and sneakers. Amid the many calls, she took time to arrange both lunch and dinner for the assembled aides. The menu was salad and sandwiches for lunch, and pizza and salad for dinner. The Vice President's pizza came with anchovies, her go-to topping."
💰 Stat du jour: The Harris campaign has raised $49.6 million since Biden endorsed her.
