Biden Drops Out of Race, Endorses VP Harris

Harris to Lead Democratic Ticket in 2024

Biden Cites Polls, Party Unity as Reasons for Decision

In a stunning announcement today, President Biden declared that he would not seek re-election in 2024. Instead, he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place atop the Democratic ticket, citing polls reflecting his faltering position against former President Donald Trump and the need for party unity.

Biden's decision marks a significant shift in the 2024 presidential race, which had been shaping up as a highly competitive contest. Trump, who has yet to formally announce his candidacy, has consistently led Biden in national polls, while Biden has also faced challenges in primary and caucus contests.

The 2024 United States presidential election will be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, and will be the 60th quadrennial presidential election in U.S. history. Voters will choose the President and Vice President of the United States for a four-year term. As of now, the Democratic and Republican parties are the only major political parties in the United States.
