In a significant development for the 2024 presidential race, President Joe Biden has officially endorsed Kamala Harris as his choice for the Democratic nomination. Biden shared this endorsement on his official X page, signaling a major shift in the election landscape.

This announcement follows Biden’s recent decision to withdraw from the presidential race. He stated that his withdrawal was made in the best interest of both the Democratic Party and the nation. By stepping aside, Biden aims to ensure that the party remains united and focused on the upcoming election.

Biden emphasized that his primary goal is to fulfill his current responsibilities as President for the remainder of his term. His endorsement of Harris is seen as a strategic move to support a smooth transition and to consolidate the Democratic front as the party prepares for the 2024 election.

Kamala Harris, currently serving as Vice President, is now positioned as a leading candidate for the presidency. Biden’s support is expected to bolster her campaign and rally Democratic voters around her candidacy as they gear up for the election.

He said,

“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,”
