President Joe Biden after the termination of his re-election bid for the 2024 US Presidential Election endorsed his Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him.
After weeks of fighting for his political life and still recovering from COVID-19 at his home in Delaware, Biden in a letter posted to social media announced that he has dropped out of the presidential race.
Harris said she was honored to receive Biden’s endorsement and vowed to earn and win the nomination.
She could be the first Black woman and Asian American nominated for a Presidential Election in The US, But the Democratic Party will accept Harris’s nomination.
That decision will be made by the roughly 4,700 delegates to the Democratic National Convention which is planned for early August, or the Chicago convention beginning from August 19.
The Democratic committee determining the party’s nomination rules will meet on Wednesday.
The campaign Fund totaling $95.9 million at the end of June would be directly available to the Democrats’ presidential ticket for use in the general election only if Harris is the party’s nominee or vice presidential nominee. If Harris does not end up on the Democrats’ 2024 ticket, the campaign account could be converted into a political action committee and use its funds indirectly.
Harris vowed she would unite the Democratic Party and thanked Biden for the time she served alongside him.
Various lawmakers have endorsed her. The Biden campaign leadership also voiced support for Harris on an all-staff call. Donors have also indicated they are prepared to back Harris.
