Biden announced he's ending his bid for the presidency via X (formerly twitter).
Sources:
I see so many suggestions for different people to run in bidens place, and I fear that that may lead to enough disunity for Trump to win an Election
Leaves me curious to see how this will play out
Sounds like Kamala Harris is gonna be the next candidate. Biden's already endorsed her and I'm sure there's some superdelegate bullshit going on that will screw other candidates.
It could be the second time the Democrats field an unpopular and disliked female candidate against Trump.
Kelly-Harris or Harris-Kelly.
Either one of those combinations stomps Trump into the pavement.
Well at least he could graciously withdraw I suppose.
Honest question.
Now that Biden is out, can any Democrat run for election? Or is Kamala it?
The Democrats officially choose their nominee at the convention (or maybe a virtual vote this year). There will be only one ticket running for the Democrats, but someone other than Harris could try to get selected. It's really unlikely though, as rejecting Harris would be very damaging to the party and two major competitors already said they wouldn't try to run against her.
