Rep. Jahana Hayes (D-Conn.) on Wednesday endorsed Sen. Kamala Harris's presidential bid, becoming the seventh Congressional Black Caucus member to throw her support behind the California Democrat.

Hayes outlined her support for Harris in an op-ed for Essence, citing the senator's background and policy agenda.

"Kamala Harris is the perfect antidote to our current President’s false narratives," Hayes wrote.

"With her intellect, strength and empathy at the helm, we can work to be better together," she added. "Senator Harris has laid out a powerful and bold vision for this country that is inclusive of everyone’s lived experience and grounded in the belief that success should not be defined by race, gender, socioeconomic status or zip code."

1. Well, that's a solid counterweight to the black elected officials who are backing Biden.

Evidence that African American elected officials are not monolithic in their preferences (of course). I like how Rep Hayes made a point of Harris's vision is inclusive of everyone's lived experience.
