Biden Won't Run, Harris Gains Key Endorsements

Following President Joe Biden's announcement that he will not seek re-election, a wave of endorsements for Vice President Kamala Harris has emerged from key Democratic figures. Biden's decision, described as selfless, has reshaped the 2024 race, positioning Harris as the leading candidate for the Democratic nomination. Significant endorsements include California Governor Gavin Newsom, former Presidents Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Senator Elizabeth Warren, who praised Harris's leadership and readiness to confront Donald Trump. Additional support comes from influential figures like Arizona Congressman Greg Stanton, Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin, and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. The Democratic National Convention in August will be crucial for Harris to solidify her nomination, with the party now focusing on unity to defeat Trump in the upcoming election.
