Joe Biden has shown its support for the vice president, Kamala Harris, as his replacement for the elections on November 5, through a message on the social network X, a few minutes after announcing that he is leaving the race. The president of the United States has said in this comment that choosing her as vice president It has been the “best decision” that has been taken.

That’s why he wanted to show their “total support and backing for her to be the candidate” of the Democratic Party. “It’s time to unite and defeat Trump. Let’s do it,” he added in this post on his X account.

“It has been the greatest honor of my life to be your President. And while My intention has been to seek re-election“I believe it is best for my party and the country that I step down and concentrate solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term,” the 81-year-old president wrote.

Although he did not initially give explicit support to Harris, minutes later he did so on the aforementioned social network. The Democratic Party is thus facing the abyss of having to choose a candidate to face the former president. Donald Trump in the presidential elections on November 5.

For his part, as Emilio Doménech reports in this video, the direct support for Kamara Harris “is a direct designation.” “Therefore, Now she is the huge favorite to position herself as a presidential candidate,” but “this does not mean that the option of a mini-primary has been closed,” although “having the designation could be one of the greatest incentives for Harris to end up being the Democratic candidate.”
