Joe Biden Is Out Of US Presidential Race, Backs Kamala
US President Joe Biden on Sunday announced that he was endorsing Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for the US 2024 presidential race, in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
“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,” he wrote on the microblogging site.
Democrats now have to choose a new nominee. We know they had scheduled a roll-call vote to formally nominate Biden for some time after 1 August. This could now be cancelled.
Earlier in the day, speculation and informal discussions within the Democratic party have intensified over the potential succession of Vice President Kamala Harris as the nominee should President Joe Biden step aside, according to a CNN report.
While consensus has not universally coalesced, a prevailing sense of exhaustion is beginning to solidify into agreement. Internal polls suggesting Harris could potentially enhance Democratic enthusiasm and support down-ballot have circulated among party circles.
Arguments in favour of her ability to swiftly organise a campaign have gained traction. Furthermore, there is a growing sentiment that Harris could vigorously confront Donald Trump, a prospect that resonates favourably in many quarters.
Supporters of Harris are supportive of the idea, confident that few serious contenders would challenge her candidature despite her behind-the-scenes bravado. Notably, several Democratic members of Congress who have publicly called for Biden to consider stepping aside declined to explicitly endorse Harris as the alternative nominee when queried by CNN on Friday.
