Harris subbing in for Biden, who has Covid-19, at the White House today offered a well-timed glimpse of what she could be like in the job of president should she win in November. And it was an easy way to reintroduce herself to Americans on her first full day as a candidate.

Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania endorsed Harris in a post on X. Fetterman, who was a vocal defender of Biden’s re-election campaign, joins a majority of his Democratic colleagues in the Senate who have backed Harris.

Michael Bloomberg declined to endorse Harris, saying on social media that Democrats “have a chance for a fresh new start” and “more than enough time for the party to take the pulse of voters.”

Although Harris spoke at a low-pressure event, her clear and clean delivery removes a serious vulnerability for Democrats in their fight to keep Trump out of the White House. Biden had increasingly slipped and stumbled in his public remarks, fueling concerns about his age.

Harris kept her remarks at the N.C.A.A. ceremony short. She spent most of it on topic: commending the college athletes in attendance. She didn't touch directly on the presidential campaign but commended Biden’s record and talked about her friendship with his son Beau.
