US Presidential Election 2024: Former US President Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday praised President Joe Biden's decision to drop out of the presidential race but refused to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party's candidate for the November 5 election. While Obama, though considers Kamala Harris as Harris' political mentor, has refused to immediately endorse Harris.
After facing a lot of criticism from his age, US President Joe Biden has finally dropped out of the presidential race. Biden withdrew from the presidential race on Sunday. Along with this, he has supported his colleague and Vice President Kamala Harris as the new presidential candidate. This decision caused a sensation in America and the whole world. However, there is still a lot left for Kamala Harris's presidential candidacy.
It is now clear that former President Donald Trump will be compared to Kamala Harris in the US presidential election. After filing nomination for the post of President, Kamala Harris can become the first black woman and the first Asian American to contest on the ticket of a major political party. She said in a statement, “I am honored to have the support of the President and I intend to seek and win this nomination.”
Which games are still left?
After Biden declared Kamala Harris as the presidential candidate, it is almost certain that she will be the presidential candidate, but the Democratic Party's candidate selection committee has not yet decided who will be the next candidate for the presidency. Many names are currently running in the presidential race. The presidential race from the Democratic Party includes California Governor Gavin Newsom, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and 6 other names. Now it remains to be seen how the Democratic Party finally announces its candidate.
Biden was being questioned
Biden's historic endorsement and Harris' pledge to unite the party behind him came after he announced on Sunday that he was dropping his bid for re-election, following weeks of turmoil within the Democratic Party. The president's heated debate raised questions about his ability to win a second term and govern for the next four years.
How did Biden take the decision?
Meanwhile, Trump said he thinks Harris will be easier to defeat than Biden. Trump made the remarks soon after Biden announced his decision. Biden took the final decision to drop out of the presidential race in the last 48 hours as he consulted family and senior advisers over the telephone while recovering from Covid. A source familiar with the matter said the plan to withdraw from the race began on Saturday night and was finalised on Sunday.
