US President Joe Biden has nominated Kamala Harris, the vice-president, as his replacement for the 2024 presidential election.
On Sunday, Biden withdrew from the presidential race, saying
his decision not to seek reelection is in the best interest of the Democratic
Party and the country.
Some Americans and democrats had asked Biden to step down
from the race over health concerns after his presidential debate with Donald
Trump, Republican Party nominee, where the president stammered and made
incoherent statements.
In another post on X, on Sunday, Biden said he has offered
his full support to Harris as a nominee of the Democratic Party in the
forthcoming election.
“My fellow Democrats,
I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my
duties as President for the remainder of my term,” Biden said.
“My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to
pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve
made.
“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. Let’s do this.”
The US presidential election is slated to hold on November
5.
