President of United States of America, Joe Biden has nominated Kamala Harris, the vice-president, as his replacement for the 2024 presidential election.
On Sunday, Biden withdrew from the presidential race, saying his decision not to seek reelection is in the best interest of the Democratic Party and the country.
Some Americans and democrats had asked Biden to step down from the race over health concerns after his presidential debate with Donald Trump, Republican Party nominee, where the president stammered and made incoherent statements.
In another post on X, on Sunday, Biden said he has offered his full support to Harris as a nominee of the Democratic Party in the forthcoming election.
“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,” Biden said.
“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.”
