WASHINGTON (AP) – Kamala Harris’ exit from the Democratic presidential primary has set off a stampede among her former rivals, who are moving fast to win over donors who supported the California senator. Many of her supporters are still grieving. But even as they mourned, the fierce nature of a primary stirred intense competition among those who saw a potential gain in her exit. Fundraisers for former Vice President Joe Biden, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg are all courting her donors, hoping to gain an edge.
