Washington DC, July 21 (DPnet).– President Joe Biden has suspended his reelection campaign, sparking a political firestorm regarding who should replace him mere months before voters head to the ballot box. “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president,” Biden wrote in a letter Sunday. “While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term.”
Vice President Kamala Harris secured a commanding list of endorsements for her presidential nomination bid in the hours following President Joe Biden's announcement that he is stepping out of the 2024 race.
The list of endorsements included the chairs of all 50 state party chairs, convention delegates from at least four states, and some of the biggest names in the party, including the Clintons, the governors of California, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, and Democrat mega-donor Alex Soros.
Even with Biden's endorsement of Ms. Harris, the future of the party ticket is uncertain, and Democrats must now navigate an unprecedented shift late in the election year. Ms. Harris has announced her intention to “earn and win this nomination.”
