My fellow Americans ..., 21 July letter resigning presumptive Democratic Party nomination

[...]
For now, let me express my deepest gratitude to all those have worked to so hard to see me re-elected. I want to thank Vice-President Harriss for being an extraordinary partner in all this work. And let m express my heartfelt appreciation to the American people for the faith and trust you have placed in me.

I believe today what I always have: That there is nothing America can't do—when we do it together. We just have to remember we ar the United States of America.

GOP eyes legal challenges as Harris assumes control of Biden's war chest, 21 July

Within hours of Biden announcing his decision, the committee tried to make the hand-off to Harris official—submitting an amended filing to the FEC changing its name to "Harris for President."

donate v.2 And if you're with us, donate to her campaign here:...
"Replacing a presidential candidate and handing over his committee to someone else is unprecedented under current campaign finance law," Sean Cooksey, a Republican who is the FEC chairman, said Sunday. "It raises a host of open questions about whether it is legal, what limits apply and what contributors' rights are."

Dara Lindenbaum, an FEC commissioner appointed by Biden, offered the opposite view: "The Biden for President Committee is the campaign committee for President Biden and Vice President Harris," she said. "The funds stay with her so long as she remains on the ticket."
[...]
In her own presidential campaign four years ago, Harris struggled to raise money and ultimately withdrew before a single vote had been cast. On Friday afternoon, she conducted a call with some of the party's top donors on Biden's behalf. But she showed up about 30 minutes late and was only available for a few minutes. The group had been summoned by tech executive Reid Hoffman, a major Democratic Party donor, and had expected to have a more interesting and informative conversation.

"Basically all she said is we are going to win," one donor said. "Everyone was pissed after the call. It was a complete waste of time."
