Biden endorses Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement on the Democratic Party’s presidential ticket after announcing that he will not seek reelection.

“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,” he writes 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.”
