Joe Biden has made his first public comments since he announced on Sunday he would be quitting the 2024 White House race and endorsing his vice president.
Vice President Kamala Harris has secured enough delegates to earn the Democratic Party's nomination as presidential candidate. In a statement she said: 'Tonight, I am proud to have secured the broad support needed to become our party's nominee, and as a daughter of California, I am proud that my home state's delegation helped put our campaign over the top. I look forward to formally accepting the nomination soon.
We're still fighting in this fight together.' He hit out at Mr Trump, saying he was 'still a danger to the communities, a danger to the nation'. Ms Harris then began by saying 'I love you, Joe' while the president stayed on the line. She said: 'Over the next 106 days we are going to take our case to the American people and we are going to win.' Ms Harris said Mr Biden created millions of jobs and 'got the COVID pandemic under control'.
