Former President Joe Biden has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election. This endorsement comes after Biden’s decision to drop out of the presidential race, following a debate performance that left many questioning his candidacy.

Biden’s endorsement of Harris is seen as a major boost to her campaign, as it brings the full weight of his support and legacy to bear. Many Democratic lawmakers have already thrown their support behind Harris, including the influential Congressional Black Caucus.

Harris, who has been a strong contender for the nomination, has been building momentum in recent weeks. Her campaign has focused on key issues such as healthcare, education, and economic justice, resonating with many Democratic voters.

While Republican governors have criticized Harris, calling Biden’s endorsement an “early defeat” and suggesting that his successor will be saddled with his policies, many Democrats see this as a positive development. Harris’s candidacy represents a continuation of the progress made during Biden’s presidency, and her commitment to building on his legacy is clear.

With Biden’s endorsement, Harris is poised to solidify her position as the front-runner for the Democratic nomination.
