Biden Drops Out, Endorses Harris Amid Party Pressure

News summary

President Joe Biden has announced he will not seek re-election in 2024, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination. This decision follows mounting pressure from within his own party, notably from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who played a crucial role in persuading Biden to withdraw. Pelosi's behind-the-scenes efforts included warning Biden of the repercussions of continuing his campaign and leveraging internal polls that showed his declining support. Democratic Senator Tim Kaine praised Biden's decision as 'patriotic,' while Republican Congressman Morgan Griffith suggested Biden should resign if he is unable to perform his duties. Pelosi has officially endorsed Harris, emphasizing her leadership qualities and potential to unify the party and defeat Donald Trump. The Democratic Party now faces a complex delegate situation as it approaches the August convention.
