Joe Biden endorses Kamala Harris as Democrats nominee

After he quit the 2024 presidential race, US President Joe Biden endorsed Vice-president Kamala Harris as the nominee of the Democratic Party on Sunday.

"My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made," the 81-year-old President said in a post on X.

Notably, if Biden's endorsement is accepted, Kamala Harris will become the first Indian-origin woman to contest the US presidential elections.
