Biden Drops Out, Endorses Harris As Replacement

U.S. President Biden and Vice President Harris hold gun violence prevention event at White House in Washington

President Joe Biden’s campaign faced a significant setback as a Democratic strategist close to the campaign revealed that the inability to defeat former President Donald Trump became insurmountable. The strategist highlighted a sudden shift in Biden's posture, from eagerly anticipating a return to the campaign trail to dropping out just 48 hours later.

The source indicated that there would not be a major reallocation of resources, as the campaign already possesses substantial knowledge about Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Biden has endorsed as his replacement on the ticket. The strategist suggested that battleground states are likely to maintain their support should Harris become the nominee, based on the data analyzed by the campaign among registered Democrats.
