Democrats thrown into chaos as they face tight deadline to replace Biden

Biden addresses decision to drop out of 2024 race in call to Harris’ campaign
President Biden called into the campaign headquarters of Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday and addressed his sudden decision to drop out of the presidential race.

“I know yesterday’s news is surprising and it’s hard for you to hear, but it was the right thing to do,” he told his former campaign staffers. “I know it’s hard because you have poured your heart and soul into me to help us win this thing, help me get this nomination, help me win the nomination, and then go on to win the of the presidency.”

Biden said he believes he made the right decision, saying he was “honored” and humbled.”

“The name has changed at the top of the ticket but the mission hasn’t changed at all,” he said.

He said he was campaigning for Harris and “fully engaged” in an effort to prevent a second Trump presidency.

“We’re still fighting in this fight together,” he said. “I’m not going anywhere. And I want you to know I’ve always…You’ve always had my back. And I promise you, I will always have your back.”
