President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he is dropping out of the 2024 race for the White House following a disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump. Biden’s decision, coming less than four months before the election, has dramatically shifted the political landscape, according to mlive.com.
In a statement, Biden emphasized his intention to serve out the remainder of his term and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor. Nearly 30 minutes after announcing his exit, Biden threw his support behind Harris. “Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year,” he said in another post on X.
Harris praised Biden’s decision as a “selfless and patriotic act” and pledged to “earn and win” her party’s nomination, vowing to defeat Trump and his “extreme Project 2025 agenda.”
