SF Democratic leaders hold rally in support of VP Kamala Harris for presidential nomination

San Francisco Democratic leaders are getting behind Vice President Kamala Harris as she hopes to shatter another glass ceiling as the first female president.

“Right now she needs us more than ever,” San Francisco Mayor London Breed said. “She needs us to come together, we as Democrats don’t have time to waste.”

Vice President Harris was the first woman to ever serve as district attorney in San Francisco.

Less than 24 hours after she announced her intention to run for president, Mayor Breed gave her support to the Oakland native at a rally on the steps of San Francisco City Hall on Monday.

“We’re going to have to travel to battle ground states, we’re going to hit the doors and the phones, we’re going to have to do text messages, we’re going to have to defend her record because right now as we speak, there are people that are trying to tear her down and will consistently go after her every step of the way but we know the real Kamala Harris,” Breed said. “It’s our job to support and defend her record.”
