LGBTQ Democrats hail Biden’s legacy and shift attention to Harris’ campaign

Many LGBTQ Democrats joined the outpouring of support for President Joe Biden and turned their attention to Vice President Kamala Harris’ candidacy for the White House after the president announced he was ending his re-election bid.

Within hours of Biden’s July 21 announcement, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), which is the most prominent LGBTQ political organization in the country, endorsed Harris’ campaign and praised Biden for “his more than 50 years of public service and his longtime support for the LGBTQ+ community.”
