During a virtual meeting where delegates cast their votes, Harris secured an “overwhelming majority,” solidifying her position as the Democratic candidate for the upcoming election.
Randal Gaines, the Chair of both the Louisiana Democratic Party and the state’s delegation to the DNC, expressed his gratitude towards President Joe Biden for his remarkable leadership and for stepping aside from the presidential race.

Gaines highlighted the unity within the party by announcing that Louisiana’s Democratic delegates are fully backing Vice President Harris as their chosen nominee.
He underscored the importance of this endorsement by stressing that it is a critical step toward uniting the party and ensuring a victory over Republican candidate Donald Trump.
Gaines also anticipated a dynamic and historic Democratic National Convention, noting that Harris would be the first Black woman to receive the party’s presidential nomination.
The endorsement reflects the party’s dedication to continuing the progress and achievements of the Biden administration.

Harris Claims Trump’s Ex-Officials Oppose His Return to Office
Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States, recently highlighted that some former officials from Donald Trump’s administration are opposed to his return to power.
In her statement, Harris emphasized her commitment to serving all Americans equally.
As both the Democratic candidate for the presidency and the current Vice President, Harris is set to face off against Trump, the leading Republican contender, in the upcoming election.
Harris pointed out that key figures who once worked closely with Trump—such as his former National Security Advisor, Defense Secretary, and Chief of Staff—are now publicly against his re-election.
She shared this perspective on social media platform X, stating: “My promise is to be a president for every American.
The very people who served in Donald Trump’s administration have voiced their concerns about his potential return to the Oval Office.”
She further elaborated, “His National Security Advisor, his Defense Secretary, his Chief of Staff, and even his Vice President have all issued warnings.
They believe that Donald Trump is unfit to lead our nation again.”
Harris assured her audience that under her leadership, she would uphold fundamental rights and freedoms, including a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body.

Trump Declines Third Debate with Harris
Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he will not participate in a third debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump made the declaration in a post on Truth Social, emphatically stating, “THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!”
He was referring to his previous debates, with President Joe Biden in June being the first, and his recent clash with Harris on Tuesday as the second.
Harris’ campaign had quickly called for an additional debate following their recent encounter, aiming to continue the debate series.
Despite this request, Trump expressed hesitation about agreeing to another debate.
In an interview with “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday, he mentioned that he would “probably” decline any further debate offers from the network.
By Thursday, Trump confirmed his decision not to debate Harris again.
He justified his stance by citing what he considered a decisive victory in their recent debate, which many observers felt tilted in Harris’ favor.
“When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, ‘I WANT A REMATCH,’” Trump commented, highlighting his belief that the debate had already settled the issue.
