Biden drops out of presidential election clearing the way for Kamala Harris

As Biden drops from the 2024 election, support for Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is surging.

Unexpectedly, President Biden drops out of the 2024 presidential election, clearing the way for Kamala Harris. As a result, on Monday, Democrats attempted to unify behind Vice President Kamala Harris as their party’s nominee. So, this momentous development—Biden declaring his support for Harris for the nomination—marked the end of the day.

The majority of Democratic delegates supported Harris, as CBS News reports. So they would put her forward as the Democratic presidential nominee following the early August virtual roll-call vote. If the numbers stay the same, this would take place.

At a ceremony honoring collegiate athletes on Monday, Harris made her first remarks in public. She had not been in public since the White House announcement. She commended Mr. Biden for his service to the country. Also, she conveyed her deep, profound gratitude. His legacy, according to her, is unrivaled in contemporary history.

Harris announced on social media that she would meet the staff at the Wilmington campaign headquarters. The terrible argument that Joe Biden and Donald Trump had last month delayed the Democrats’ political campaign finance raising. But what Future Forward PAC, a Democratic political action committee, revealed on Monday was shocking. They announced that $150 million had been raised.

Democratic powerhouses like Speaker of the House Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have not yet endorsed Harris. But on Monday, she received Nancy Pelosi’s endorsement, which was a critical step in the right direction.

Several governors supported Harris, viewing her as the front-runner for the nomination. Governors Andy Beshear of Kentucky, Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, and Gavin Newsom of California supported her. They backed Kamala Harris, the 59-year-old former senator from California and state attorney general.

Despite his endorsement, Mr. Biden does not declare a winner in this race. The delegates at the Democratic National Convention will select the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee. The Senate will hold a roll-call vote to confirm the nomination in early August. This is a few weeks before the Democratic convention, which begins in Chicago on August 19.

On social media, former president Donald Trump has talked about Joe Biden’s choice to step down. He has made it obvious that he will not be debated, thus the winner will not debate him. The GOP’s vice presidential candidate, JD Vance, is expected to speak at a rally on Monday.
