Biden backs VP Harris after dropping out of presidential race | DW News

After confirming he was dropping out of the presidential race, US President Joe Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement. "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," Biden wrote.

The 59-year-old Harris entered politics after rising through the ranks to become California's top public prosecutor. Her time in the White House, however, did not do much to raise her public profile. She was perceived as being in Biden's shadow and attacked by the Republican party over her efforts to curb the influx of immigrants arriving from Mexico. Harris, however, has an advantage over other potential candidates due to her access to campaign funds she has already raised with Biden.

I happen to disagree with Biden's policies sometimes but I fully respect his democratic instincts and his commitments to keep it 100% REPUBLIC not a monarchy and not a totalitarianism rule, a peaceful transfer of power inspired by free and fair elections!

Biden is going to be upset when they tell him.

[shushu]

It’s very scary that he thinks KH is the best decision he’s ever made. 🤮

[MovieGuy]

It was the right choice for the country. Can’t even imagine Trump doing something this selfless and patriotic.

[tonners.pettitt]

Good man, have a nice holiday with your family and relax!

[dweb]

It's time for the Democrats to unite.

[mikebaginy]

That decision could have come earlier, but President Biden finally saw reality. Now Democrats need to elect her as their nominee next month and the US will finally have a sensible alternative to GOP hatred and danger. Go Kamala!!!

“Has done a fantastic job as VP”? She’s just as incoherent as Biden.
