President Joe Biden has officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election.
This endorsement follows Biden’s earlier declaration that he would not seek reelection, choosing instead to concentrate on his presidential duties for the remainder of his term.
At a press conference on Sunday, President Biden addressed his fellow Democrats, saying, “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.”
He continued, “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 powerful endorsement from President Biden is expected to galvanize the Democratic Party as it gears up for a contentious election battle against former President Donald Trump.
Harris, who has been a key figure in the Biden administration, now steps forward as the presumptive nominee, with the backing of her predecessor lending significant weight to her campaign.
