Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) also endorsed Harris for president in the 2020 election on Monday, saying she “embraces the future.”
“Known Kamala for many years & worked together on various issues,” Lieu, a progressive Democrat, tweeted. “She embraces the future, not the past, and is the person we need to move America forward.”
Harris on Sunday officially launched her bid for the presidency with a speech touting equality in Oakland, Calif., that drew thousands of attendees.
Her campaign slogan is “Kamala Harris: For the People.”
