The Rev. William J. Barber II, a progressive activist and leader of the Poor People’s Campaign, took to social media to express support for Vice President Kamala Harris following the announcement.

“When a President steps down, the VP steps up. If Dems can focus on agenda to address poverty, low wages, access to healthcare, women’s & voting rights, VP Harris can unite & energize a broad electorate,” he tweeted.

Barber later added that millions of Americans “voted for Biden/Harris as one ticket—in 2020 & again in the primary.”

“A Vice President exists to step in when a President steps down. Dems need to follow the succession plan that’s in place or never complain again that their opponents undermine democracy,” he said.
