SEEKONK, Mass. (WPRI) — Democratic Congressman Jake Auchincloss on Sunday hailed President Biden’s decision to end his reelection bid as a patriotic move and immediately threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris to lead the party’s ticket.

“We are going to put this forward to the American people and say, 70% of you said you wanted a change at the top of both tickets — Democrats have responded by passing the torch,” Auchincloss told 12 News. “Republicans responded with a convention that was a mosh pit on top of a human hand grenade.”
