Chicago - Menos de 24 horas após o presidente Joe Biden desistir da reeleição, a candidatura presidencial de Kamala Harris vai se consolidando, pois seus principais rivais no partido desistiram de enfrentá-la.

Os governadores Gavim Newsom (Califórnia), Josh Shapiro (Pensilvânia), JB Pritzker (Illinois), Phill Murphy (Nova Jersey) e Gretchen Whitmer (Michigan), além de Pete Buttigieg, secretário de Transportes, endossaram a candidatura de Kamala, em um sinal de que não vão disputar a posição.

"Com nossa democracia em risco e nosso futuro na reta, ninguém é melhor para tocar o caso contra a visão sombria de Donald Trump e guiar nosso país em uma direção mais saudável do que a vice-presidente Kamala Harris", escreveu Newsom.

"Kamala Harris é agora a pessoa certa para pegar a tocha, derrotar Donald Trump e suceder Joe Biden como presidente", disse Buttigieg.

Estes eram os principais nomes cotados pelo partido para substituir Biden caso ele desistisse. O surgimento de uma nova candidatura de fôlego agora seria difícil, dado que há pouco tempo para arrecadar recursos e fazer campanha para conquistar os delegados do partido.

Com isso, deverá crescer nos próximos dias a disputa por uma posição de vice na chapa de Kamala, e todos os nomes acima estão sendo cotados.

Prazo apertado

Os nomes precisariam ser confirmados até 7 de agosto, daqui a duas semanas, e a Convenção Democrata, que definirá a candidatura presidencial do partido, começa em 19 de agosto. A chapa presidencial democrata será noemada neste evento.

O senador Joe Manchin, que havia considerado lançar uma candidatura presidencial no domingo, também anunciou que não disputará o pleito.

Kamala fará um discurso às 11h30 (12h30 de Brasília) nesta segunda-feira. Será sua primeira aparição pública após a desistência de Biden. Ela estará em um evento com equipes campeãs dos torneios da NCAA, de esportes universitários, na Casa Branca.
