Biden shows support for VP Harris after dropping out of presidential race

In a surprising turn of events, US President Joe Biden has officially announced his withdrawal from the presidential race and has thrown his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement. In a statement released today, Biden expressed his full support and endorsement for Harris to be the nominee of the Democratic party this year, urging Democrats to unite and defeat Trump.

Kamala Harris, a 59-year-old who rose through the ranks to become California’s top public prosecutor, has faced challenges in raising her public profile during her time in the White House. Often perceived to be in Biden’s shadow, Harris has been criticized by the Republican party for her efforts to curb immigration from Mexico. However, Harris does have an advantage over other potential candidates due to the campaign funds she has already raised alongside Biden.

With Biden’s endorsement, Harris now has a significant boost in her campaign for the presidency. It will be interesting to see how she capitalizes on this opportunity and how she plans to differentiate herself from Biden as she moves forward in the race. Only time will tell how Harris will fare against the other contenders in the Democratic party as the race for the presidency heats up.
