ROCHESTER, N.Y. – At the International Hall at the Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport, Congressman Joe Morelle officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Morelle praised President Joe Biden for his "extraordinary leadership and unwavering service to this great nation."
"The president's decision to entrust our nation's future to a new generation is a testament to his selfless patriotism, to his commitment to our democratic principles, and his dedication to the american people," Morelle said.

“She is proven, prepared, and ready to move America forward,” he said.
It’s been widely reported that Morelle was one of the first members of Congress to think President Biden should step down. His opinion was part of a private conversation with other members of Congress that was leaked to reporters. Morelle says he hasn’t commented on the details because they were shared in private.
“This is now a sprint to the finish that’s why I think people feel that she’s tested, she’s prepared, she’s ready, she’s done it all. That’s why we need to rally around her and get on with the campaign,” said Rep. Morelle.
"I'm proud to endorse Kamala Harris. I look forward to working along side of her to make our democracy fair, stronger and more inclusive."
Right after the press conference, Morelle got on an airplane and headed back to D.C. for the regular business of Congress.
The Democratic Party convention is four weeks from today in Chicago.
Monroe County delegates, Shelly Clements, Anthony Plonczynski-Figueroa, Yversha Roman, Jamie Romeo, Adam Bello, Samra Brouk, and Stephen Gregory DeVay released the following statement supporting Vice President Harris:
