Joe Biden

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker spoke with Kamala Harris’ campaign about the vice presidential role on Wednesday, according to a source with knowledge of the process.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who had been on shortlists as a potential replacement for President Joe Biden, said he had spoken to Harris and told her the president’s decision “came as a genuine surprise.”

Some Democrats are already endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign.

While Pritzker has emphatically expressed his support of Biden, he’s also not quashed the narrative that he has White House ambitions.

President Biden announced that he will discontinue his campaign to seek a second term in the White House, throwing the Democratic race for 2024 wide open.

On Tuesday, Pritzker said the exchange between Biden and the Democratic governors was “a robust discussion” — and he’s “all in” for Biden.

The lawsuit was filed last month by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey alongside seven other states.

After a win in the U.S. Supreme Court last year, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is leading a coalition of states challenging the Department of Education’s second attempt at loan forgiveness. The federal program could waive or help with payments for more than 8 million borrowers.

While the president got more than 85% of the vote, "uncommitted" received enough support to have three delegates at the Democratic National Convention.

Tuesday’s results offered only bragging rights to the candidates after decisive primaries last week in Georgia, Mississippi and Washington state made both Biden and Trump the presumptive presidential nominees for their respective parties.
