Biden ends reelection bid, endorses VP Harris to be Democratic nominee

Announcing the end of his reelection bid, President Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democrats’ nominee. His endorsement of Harris clears the way for her, but it’s no guarantee of a smooth transition. The Democratic National Convention is just four weeks away and it remains to be seen whether other candidates would challenge Harris for the nomination, or how the party may need to adjust its rules for the nominating convention in Chicago. The president’s announcement not only shakes up the process for his party, but also forces the Trump campaign to change its strategy.
