US President Joe Biden prepares to detail his reasons for pulling out of the 2024 US presidential election in a prime-time Oval Office address, scheduled to begin shortly.
US President Joe Biden is expected to detail his reasons for pulling out of the election race in a prime-time address to the nation shortly.
Mr Biden was in isolation with COVID when he announced his decision via the X platform, writing: "While it has been my intention to seek re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term."
"Our nation, as it always has, is counting on you to energise, to organise and to mobilise," she told the convention for a historically Black sorority group, Zeta Phi Beta. Mr Biden endorsed Ms Harris half an hour after announcing he would not run for re-election, and she has since won the backing of most top Democrats, including those who had been seen as her potential rivals.
