President Joe Biden will stay in office for the remainder of his term, endorses Vice President Kamala Harris.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) posted to X after President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race on Sunday.
“Joe Biden has not only been a great president and a great legislative leader, but he’s a truly amazing human being,” Mr. Schumer said.
“His decision, of course, was not easy, but he once again put his country, his party, and our future first.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), in a lengthy statement Sunday, claimed that he believes the Democratic Party “forced” President Joe Biden “off the ballot” with “just over 100 days before the election.”
“At this unprecedented juncture in American history, we must be clear about what just happened,” he wrote in a post on X, adding that the party has “invalidated the votes of more than 14 million Americans” who voted in favor of President Biden in the primary elections.
“If Joe Biden is not fit to run for President, he is not fit to serve as President. He must resign the office immediately. November 5 cannot arrive soon enough,” he added.
In a post on Truth Social, the former president and Republican nominee for president wrote that he believes President Biden is “not fit to serve” or run for president.
Former President Trump suggested voters cast their ballots for him in November to “remedy the damage” that was done, while criticizing the president’s record.
He did not offer his perspective on President Biden’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris to run as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.
Minutes after announcing he is bowing out of the 2024 presidential race, President Joe Biden wrote on social media that he is endorsing his vice president and running mate, Kamala Harris.
“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,” the president wrote on X, accompanied by a photo of himself and Ms. Harris at the White House.
Saying that his “very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President,” President Biden said he will offer his “full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year.”
With President Joe Biden stepping down from the 2024 presidential race, the future of the Democratic Party ticket is uncertain. Immediately after withdrawing his candidacy, President Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in a post on X.
However, others could challenge her at the Democratic National Convention, which starts on Aug. 19.
President Biden’s delegates may opt to support Ms. Harris. But if a candidate is not selected in the first round of voting, super delegates can vote in subsequent rounds.
