Joe Biden Endorses His Vice President, Kamala Harris After Stepping Down From 2024 Presidential Elec
On Sunday, President Biden declared his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential contest and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.
“While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for my term,” the vice president said in a social media post.
Later this week, Mr. Biden promised to address the nation. He quickly endorsed Harris for the Democratic candidature, despite the fact that Mr Biden is unable to designate a contender. According to a person with knowledge, Mr. Biden and Mr. Harris had many conversations earlier on Sunday before his statement.
“My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President,” Mr. Biden posted on social media. “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. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.”
Harris issued a statement on Sunday saying she is “honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.”
“Over the past year, I have traveled across the country, talking with Americans about the clear choice in this momentous election,” Harris said. “And that is what I will continue to do in the days and weeks ahead. I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party—and unite our nation—to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda. We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win.”
