PresidentJoe Biden has endorsed Vice PresidentKamala Harris for the 2024 presidential race, moments after Biden announced that he had decided to step aside from the campaign and not seek re-election. “My fellowDemocrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” Biden wrote. “My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year.” Biden’s endorsement of Harris is expected to unify the Democratic Party and set the stage for a robust campaign against the Republican nominee, former PresidentDonald Trump. The president praised Harris’ capabilities and accomplishments, underscoring his confidence in her ability to lead the nation. The announcement followed weeks of speculation and mounting pressure from top Democratic leaders for Biden to reconsider his re-election bid.
