In a surprise announcement, President Joe Biden has officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential race.
Declaring his decision not to seek re-election, Biden stated, “My fellow Democrats, 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.
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. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.”
This endorsement sets the stage for a high-stakes election as Harris aims to become the first female President of the United States.
