2024 Presidential Election Update

Biden Ends Re-Election Bid, Endorses Harris

President Joe Biden has announced that he will not seek re-election in 2024. In a surprise move, he has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him at the top of the Democratic ticket.

Harris Announces Presidential Campaign

Following Biden's announcement, Vice President Kamala Harris declared her candidacy for president on July 21, 2024. If successful in her bid, she would become the first female president of the United States.

Harris's entry into the race shakes up the political landscape and sets up a potential clash with former President Donald Trump, who is the presumptive Republican nominee.

Other Democratic Challengers Quiet

In the wake of Biden's announcement, potential Democratic challengers to Harris have remained largely silent about their plans. However, several prominent figures have expressed interest in the race, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and California Governor Gavin Newsom.

The Democratic primary is expected to be highly competitive, as multiple candidates vie for the chance to challenge Trump in the general election.
