Biden Withdraws from Presidential Race
Facing pressure from his party and the evolving political landscape, Biden has decided to withdraw from the presidential race. He explained, “It is in the best interest of my party and the country.”
Uncertainty Around Harris’s Nomination
Despite Biden’s endorsement and his clear appreciation of Harris’s service, it remains uncertain if she will be selected by the Democrats to run for president. While she is considered a favored alternative, potential opposition within the party remains a possibility.
Focus on the Democratic National Convention
Attention now turns to the Democratic National Convention, scheduled to take place next month in Chicago. The convention begins on August 19, but the party has expedited the process to meet Ohio’s August 7 candidate certification deadline. This means the new nominee should be confirmed in just over two weeks.
