(La Porte, IN) - Democrats in Indiana are in full support of Vice-President Kamala Harris as the party’s nominee for president.  That’s according to Shaw Friedman, a La Porte attorney and one of the delegates from Indiana going to the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

 

Friedman will be among the delegates from throughout the country deciding the Democratic Party nominee for president during the convention, scheduled to begin August 19th.

 

President Joe Biden, 81, recently withdrew from the race after last month’s disastrous debate performance suspected to be linked to his age or medical condition.  

 

Friedman said the support for Harris was shown by a unanimous vote last night by delegates and other democratic stakeholders in the state.

 

“All 88 delegates have said they’ll be casting a vote for Kamala Harris for president.  The Democratic State Committee voted that way as well. The party is really coming together, unifying beautifully at this point,” he said.

 

Friedman said he believes the energy Harris brings to the campaign is among the reasons she gives the party a better chance at defeating former president Donald Trump, who recently secured the Republican Party nomination for president.

 

"There’s a very different kind of enthusiasm now.  We got someone who can go toe to toe and be very competitive on the national stage,” he said.

 

Friedman also said he doesn’t believe anyone else will enter the race for the Democratic Party nomination given the amount of support from democrats in other states for Harris.
