President Biden ended his 2024 presidential reelection campaign and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris following his announcement.
The news of President Biden dropping out of this year's presidential campaign came after he was diagnosed with Covid 19. However, it's been speculated that the POTUS' overall health has been declining for weeks.
Today, the President announced, "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. Today, I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee."
Vice President Harris responded to the endorsement; she stated, "On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as president of the United States and for his decades of service to our country. She continued, "his remarkable legacy of accomplishment is unmatched in modern American history, surpassing the legacy of many presidents who have served two terms in office," she said.
Harris contends that she will do everything in her power to unite the nation and the Democratic Party and to defeat Donald Trump. VP Harris feels Trump is a threat to Democracy.
According to CNBC, The progressive donation platform ActBlue initially said it raised $27.5 million from small-dollar donors in the five hours after Biden endorsed Harris. Later, the company announced it raised over $45 million.
