1/ Harris applauded Biden and his “legacy of accomplishment over the past three years” in her first public remarks since he dropped out and endorsed her for president. Harris, who has emerged as the party favorite to replace him at the top of the ticket, called Biden’s term “unmatched in modern history” and praised his “deep love of our country.” As expected, Harris did not directly address her presidential campaign, but the Biden-Harris campaign formally amended filings with the Federal Election Commission to rename its principal committee and declare her a candidate for president. Harris is expected to assume control of the Biden-Harris campaign account, which had nearly $96 million cash in hand at the end of June. (NBC News / CNN / ABC News)
