Kamala Harris is quickly taking over from Joe Biden after he was deposed as the Democrats’ presumptive presidential nominee on Sunday. As Biden remained incommunicado at his Rehoboth Beach, Delaware beach house while recovering from COVID, Harris presided over a White House ceremony honoring NCAA athletes. Harris also posted she would visit the Wilmington, Delaware campaign headquarters of the former Biden campaign, now the Harris campaign, to say “hello” to staff. Harris did not say whether she will meet with Biden.
Harris posted Monday morning, “It’s the first full day of our campaign, so I’m heading up to Wilmington, DE later to say “hello” to our staff in HQ. One day down. 105 to go. Together, we’re going to win this.”

Harris’ trip was a surprise:

Harris lavished praise on Biden, reported Politico’s Eugene Daniels, “Joe Biden’s legacy of accomplishment is unmatched in modern history. In one term, he has already surpassed the legacy of most president who served two terms in office. … We are deeply deeply grateful for his service to our nation.”

“We are the champions,” Harris’ new theme song?

Earlier Monday, team Harris put out word to reporters that Harris spent ten hours on the phone working to consolidate her position as Biden’s successor (and talking to her pastor) while dressed in sweats and eating anchovy pizza. (CNN excerpt):
Joe Biden’s 1:46 p.m. ET Sunday announcement that he would not seek a second term ignited a frenetic push by Harris to consolidate the support of a party that had been in crisis in the weeks since the president’s dismal performance during his June 27 debate with former President Donald Trump.
Harris knew what Biden had decided: She’d had multiple phone calls with Biden on Sunday, a person familiar with the matter said. Once the announcement came, Harris — wearing a hoodie from her alma mater, Howard University, workout sweats and sneakers — made more than 100 phone calls over 10 hours.
Alongside her family and staff, the vice president’s calls included lawmakers, governors and leaders of influential labor, advocacy and civil rights groups.
Those calls included former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, as well as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The Clintons, in a statement Sunday, endorsed Harris; Obama did not, deferring to the party’s process.
Harris also called her pastor, Amos Brown III, who, along with his wife, prayed over her, the source said. She ate pizza with anchovies — Harris’ go-to topping — for dinner.
