The Alabama Democratic Party has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president.

State Democratic Party Chair Randy Kelley issued a statement Monday, one day after President Joe Biden stepped aside in the race and endorsed his former running mate, Harris.

Kelley said the state party has joined with the Association of State Democratic Chairs in endorsing Harris.

“Kamala Harris has been an integral part of the successes of the Biden-Harris presidency and those successes are many,” Kelley said. “From historic investments in small business, job creation, and forgiving millions in student loans, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have guided America with a steady hand after four years of Donald Trump’s chaos. We are better off than we were four years ago.”

The announcement Monday by the state Democratic Party follows endorsements of Harris by other state Democratic officials including U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell, Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin, and Shomari Figures, Democratic nominee in the state’s 2nd Congressional District.

Alabama Republicans, meanwhile, have accused Democrats of covering up Biden’s diminished mental acuity and said voters will reject the policies of the Biden administration in the election regardless of the nominee. Sen. Tommy Tuberville called on Biden to resign and Sen. Katie Britt said Harris has been instrumental in policies that have weakened the nation.

But state Democratic Chair Kelley said it is Trump’s policies that will send the country in the wrong direction. The Democratic National Convention is set for Aug. 19 to Aug. 22 in Chicago.

“The contrast between Trump and Vice President Harris could not be clearer,” Kelley said. “Donald Trump is a threat to the very fabric of our Democracy. His plans for America are nefarious. We cannot allow him the opportunity to implement Project 2025. We must unite behind Vice President Harris as the Democratic Party nominee and pledge our full support. And when Alabama Democrats are united, there’s no limit to what we can do.”
