Following a meeting of Vermont’s delegates, the delegation announced the unanimous support of Vermont’s pledged delegates to the Democratic National Convention for Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic nominee for President.
“We’ve heard an outpouring of support from Vermonters across the state for Vice President Harris in the last day and a half,” said VDP Chair David Glidden. “Our phones have been ringing off the hook with a record number of people signing up to volunteer to elect Democrats up and down the ticket in November. I’m proud to be a part of such an historic moment.”
At the VDP’s May 18 state convention, nearly 400 Democrats from around Vermont gathered and elected 11 delegates to the Democratic National Convention, and that group in turn finalized the slate with five more in June. Those delegates met in an informal meeting tonight to discuss the current state of the Presidential race and decided as a group to lend their voices to the chorus cheering Vice President Harris on.
“As one of the youngest delegates in America, I am thrilled at the prospect of Vice President Kamala Harris running for President,” said Addie Lentzner of Bennington. “I fully support her nomination, and I look forward to following her lead to put Trump's Project 2025 in the trash bin, making these next few months - and next four years - empowering and transformative for America.”
“Reproductive rights are on the ballot this year and there is no better standard bearer than Vice President Harris,” said Thea Wurzburg of Winooski. “I’m ready to defeat Trump’s extremist agenda that would turn back the clock on so many of our fundamental rights, and finally elect our first woman president”
“President Biden and Vice President Harris have led one of the most successful and accomplished administrations in the modern history of America,” said Mattison, a delegate from Burlington. “American democracy is under threat with the Republican commitment to Project 2025. Vice President Kamala Harris has proven that she knows how to deliver against perpetrators and predators at all levels. She’s ready to prosecute the case against Donald Trump and win for the American people.”
Vermont’s pledged delegates join thousands of colleagues across the country announcing their support for Vice President Harris. The delegation heads to Chicago on August 19, 2024 for the final steps in the nominating process.
