Puerto Rican Democrats rally behind Kamala Harris after Biden's work for Puerto Rico

The 60 full delegates and five Puerto Rican Democratic alternates participating in the DNC decided to support Harris unanimously.

Charlie Rodríguez, president of the Democratic Party in Puerto Rico, praised the human qualities of President Joe Biden following his decision on Sunday to withdraw from the upcoming presidential election.

“After evaluating the situation in his political career, he chose to withdraw from the presidential nomination in order to give the Democratic Party the opportunity to defeat someone who represents a threat to the nation, and I add to the world…Donald Trump,” Rodríguez told Floricua.

Biden, 81, has faced questions about his age, and those concerns boiled over after last month’s first presidential debate, in which he struggled to articulate his thoughts and had several verbal miscues.

Rodríguez said that his performance as president had not been in discussion, since Biden’s public policy as president was never questioned. Now, the important thing is that the work he started continues.
