    • Abstract:
      Vice President Kamala Harris has been chosen as the Democratic Party's nominee for the 2024 general election, as President Joe Biden has announced that he will not run for re-election. Harris has received the endorsement of Biden, who expressed his support for her on social media. In an interview with The Washington Informer, Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela A. Smith, the first Black woman to lead the D.C. police, discusses her one-year tenure and addresses topics such as crime reduction, police recruitment, and faith-based engagement. The article also highlights the strong support and enthusiasm for Harris among African American leaders and communities. Prominent figures like Rev. Jamal Bryant and Bishop Joel Peebles have expressed their full support for Harris and stressed the importance of rallying behind her in the upcoming election. The article further emphasizes the success of virtual Zoom calls organized by Win with Black Women and Roland Martin's Black Star Network, which garnered significant attendance and raised millions of dollars for Harris' campaign. These calls showcased the unity and determination of Black women and men in supporting Harris, while also highlighting her qualifications and leadership qualities. [Extracted from the article]
