Biden Drops Out, Endorses Harris for 2024 Race

Biden Drops Out, Endorses Harris for 2024 Race

In a turn of events, President Joe Biden announced today that he will not seek re-election in 2024, instead throwing his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee.

The move was antcipated through the political landscape, upending what was expected to be a rematch between Biden and former President Donald Trump. Harris, who would become the first woman and first person of color nominated for president by a major party, quickly accepted Biden's endorsement.

Biden and Harris have a complex history dating back to the 2020 Democratic primaries, where they clashed on issues like busing and healthcare. Despite their differences, Biden chose Harris as his running mate, citing her experience as a senator and attorney general of California.

The impact of this shift is being felt across the country, including in traditionally Republican states like Tennessee. Some democratic organizers in the Volunteer State expressed cautious optimism about Harris's chances.

Some Republicans in Tennessee were quick to dismiss Harris's prospects. Tennesseans rejected the Biden-Harris agenda in 2020, and they'll likely do it again in 2024, no matter who's at the top of the ticket.

As the political world adjusts to this new reality, all eyes will be on Harris as she steps into the spotlight if she is the presumptive Democratic nominee.

With Biden's endorsement, she inherits some support such as from the Clinton's, but also faces the challenge of unifying a party still grappling with generational and ideological divides.

Barack Obama said: We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead. But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges. He did not endorse Harris.

The coming months will reveal whether Harris can capitalize on this unexpected opportunity and make history in November 2024.
