Watch live: Vice President Kamala Harris delivers remarks at the Democratic campaign headquarters

Americans woke up Monday to an upended presidential campaign after President Joe Biden dropped his troubled reelection bid and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor in the Democratic Party's race to stop Donald Trump from regaining the White House.

Biden, 81, who faced a wellspring of pressure to leave the race after he appeared disoriented at a televised debate with Trump last month, passed the torch to Harris, 59, who soon announced her bid for the party's nomination. Behind the scenes, the Biden campaign machine switched gears to benefit the vice president.

Several comments mentioned “baby talk” and/ or “grinning” and implied that VP Harris needs to toughen up. No she doesn’t. It’s so refreshing to see a female candidate who doesn’t feel the need to hide her femininity. Harris is smart, experienced, and compassionate. She’s qualified to run this country and doesn’t need to take on a gruff exterior to prove it. Harris 2024! Let’s go!

I believe she can lead this country in the right direction

I wish they used the same microphone for Joe during the debate.

Regardless, I feel saddened that my president has to step aside, but he did the right thing. Trump would never do the same. I can not stress how excited I am to vote for our first woman President!

The same day Biden steps down through a tweet his entire campaign staff just switches over to campaign for Kamala. Not even 24 hrs has passed. Lol nothing strange about any of this at all

Live Feed is terrible! You'd think the networks, who always question whether someone can do their job, can actually do theirs!

Save democracy! Vote Trump/Vance! This bubblehead will finish off what’s left of this country.

Folks really need to work on their camera feed for things like this... Glitches and pixelation here were spread across the major news channels at the same time.

I can't wait to see what excuses Donald Trump will come up with to avoid debating the Vice President hahahahahaha

[TheJackster-tloi]

The same people that told you Biden was capable of running despite everything are now telling you Kamala is wonderful, who sat right beside him while he did nothing. She covered for his inability to lead multiple times, and you all will vote for her thinking she’s the “honest” candidate
