Exclusive: Murphy says Harris endorsements weren't "pre-organized"

What he's saying: "I get it that there's cynicism out there and folks might've thought this whole thing was set up," Murphy told Axios' Stephen Neukam.

• "Just to be clear, none of us knew about the president's decision until the minute he made it, none of us were calling each other to pre-organize our endorsements of Kamala Harris," he continued.

Zoom in: Murphy said he was on a run when Biden announced he was dropping out.

• "I sat down at my kitchen table and typed out, personally, my endorsement ... and I think that's what my colleagues did," he said.
• "It was as organic as you can get."
