Biden Drops Out of 2024 Presidential Race, Endorses Harris
President Joe Biden ends his 2024 re-election campaign and throws his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris. The sudden decision follows weeks of internal party pressure after a poorly received debate performance.
President Joe Biden officially drops out of the 2024 presidential race against former President Donald Trump. The 81-year-old Biden makes this stunning announcement via a post on the social media site X, where he calls serving as president the greatest honor of his life.
Following his departure from the race, Biden immediately endorses Vice President Kamala Harris to take over as the Democratic Party's nominee. This endorsement shifts the focus of the upcoming election and forces the Democratic Party to rally around a new candidate at the top of the ticket.
This historic move comes after weeks of intense pressure from within his own party. Fellow Democrats increasingly call for him to step aside following a poorly received debate performance against Trump, ultimately leading to his decision to abandon his re-election bid.
