In a shocking announcement, US President Joe Biden has decided to withdraw from the race to be the next president, bowing to pressure from fellow Democrats. The move comes as a surprise to many, as Biden was seen as a front-runner in the 2024 presidential race.
In a statement released today, Biden stated, “Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala Harris to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.” This endorsement from President Biden is sure to give a significant boost to Harris’s campaign.
Kamala Harris, the current vice president, has accepted Biden’s endorsement and is now the Democratic nominee for the US 2024 presidential race. With Biden stepping aside and throwing his support behind Harris, it will be interesting to see how the Democratic Party rallies around her and prepares for the upcoming election.
The decision to endorse Harris marks a defining moment in the 2024 presidential race, as Biden’s exit from the race will undoubtedly shift the dynamics of the campaign. With Harris now the frontrunner for the Democratic Party, all eyes will be on her as she navigates the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
