Biden endorses Harris as Democratic nominee after ending his candidacy

President Biden on Sunday endorsed Vice President Harris to become the Democratic Party's nominee as he announced he would not seek reelection.

"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," he posted on X. "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," he added.
