Now we know why Harris waited to endorse Joe [View all]
Why Kamala Harris waited for Warren to exit the race before endorsing Biden
“I had two women colleagues in the race, and I did not feel right putting my thumb on the scale [that] in any way would harm their candidacy,” Harris said, referring to Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). Both ended their campaigns last week. “So, when Elizabeth announced that she was getting out of the race, I let Joe know that I would endorse him.”

Classy move.
I love it when women have each other's backs. It's not necessary for women to always endorse other women candidates. But it's important for them to make sure they don't undermine each other.
If I were to vote in a presidentialprimary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
