Joe Biden opts out of US presidential race, endorses Indian-origin Kamala Harris
By MYBRANDBOOK
US President Joe Biden has opted out of the presidential race on Sunday and has endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris as the presidential nominee of the Democratic Party. Biden has ended his re-election bid after a recent disastrous debate with Donald Trump that raised doubts about Biden's fitness for office. The President called upon his party to unite behind Harris. The Vice-President praised Biden’s “selfless and patriotic act” and said she intends to “earn and win” her party’s nomination.
Notably, if Biden's endorsement is accepted, Kamala Harris will become the first Indian-origin woman to contest the US presidential elections.
"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. 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," the 81-year-old President said in a post on X.
"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," he added in the post.
Vice President Harris, meanwhile, said she was honoured to have Biden’s endorsement and that she intends to “earn and win this nomination”.
Harris released a statement calling Biden’s decision to end his campaign a “selfless and patriotic act.” She also thanked Biden for his “extraordinary leadership” and argued that his legacy as a one-term president would surpass the records of many chief executives who served two terms in office.
Biden's decision to drop out of the race came after pressure from the Democratic lawmakers and party officials after his weak performance in the first presidential debate against Republican candidate Donald Trump.
