Following President Biden's decision to stand down his re-election campaign, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro released a statement endorsing Vice President Harris to be the Democratic nominee. He says, 'Kamala Harris is a patriot worthy of our support,' adding, 'She has served the country honorably as Vice President and she is ready to be President.
. "It is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down," he said.from office, as well, and have begun attacking Harris over her role in border security and what they claim is previous dishonesty about Biden's mental acuity.Biden's endorsement of Harris as his successor sends a powerful message to Black women, an important voting bloc going into November, said Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass.
"Now that Joe has, not surprisingly, has quit the race, I think the Debate, with whomever the Radical Left Democrats choose, should be held on FoxNews, rather than very biased ABC," Trump said in a post on Truth Social, in which he called Biden"the Worst President in the history of the United States."
Jim Ellis, a staunch Arizona Democrat, spoke to NBC News about Biden's decision to drop his re-election bid and said he would consider various candidates for the top of the ticket. Latino Victory Fund board chair Luis A. Miranda Jr. said in a statement on X that the fund"enthusiastically endorses" Harris, and he urged all Latino delegates"to close ranks around her nomination."
In a way, Biden’s momentous decision today moves up a long-anticipated 2028 Democratic primary campaign that was expected to feature a broad cast of rising stars in the party. But the sudden start and a shortened four-month timeline mean Harris starts out with a massive advantage — a campaign apparatus and millions in funds she can inherit, as well as rapid endorsements from broad swaths of the party eager to quickly settle on a nominee.
O’Malley Dillon indicated to staff members that their jobs were safe and would transfer to the campaign operation for Harris. Chicago-based activist Hatem Abudayyeh, who recently protested the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, expected Biden would eventually bow out of the race but said the announcement does not change his hopes that tens of thousands of people will descend on the DNC next to protest U.S. support for Israeli military operations in Gaza.“Whoever it is is going to be in that same category of the Bidens and the Clintons and the Obamas in terms of their support of Israel," Abudayyeh said.
,"Today and everyday, it is an honor to serve under @POTUS Biden’s leadership," adding that he is"extraordinarily proud" of everything the department has accomplished under his presidency."It has never been about him; it’s always been about everyday folks, people without power or title," Granholm said."May his grace & selflessness serve as an example to others.
He said “unconditional love” has been Joe Biden’s north star as president and as a father, claiming that there is “no distance” between Joe Biden the man and Joe Biden the public servant over his 54 years in politics. “Older generations kind of need to go into retirement, into the home,” Lucas said after he confirmed he doesn't think Biden should serve out his term.
Asked what he thought about those calling for a mini-primary with multiple candidates, Horsford said: “We are not playing this game. The only person who is prepared and qualified to win this nomination to beat Donald Trump, and to become our next president, is Kamala Harris, period. … There is a process within the convention and committee structure that allows her to earn it.
"I couldn’t be more confident that Vice President @KamalaHarris is the right person to defeat Donald Trump and lead our country into the future," Kelly wrote on X."She has my support for the nomination, and Gabby and I will do everything we can to elect her President of the United States." Kelly’s wife is former Rep, Gabby Giffords, D-Ariz.
Vance, Trump's running mate, also accused Harris of not being honest"about Biden’s mental capacity — saddling the nation with a president who can’t do the job."Swalwell threw his hat in the ring in the 2020 presidential election alongside Biden and Harris; he endorsed Biden after he exited the race in 2019.
"President Biden has improved the lives of countless Americans through his selfless service, and I think him for his un-paragoned leadership," he said, listing many of Biden's accomplishments as president.Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, who leads the battleground state where the Republican National Convention took place last week, thanked Biden today but did not throw his support behind Harris like the president did.
Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., tweeted an image today of the check from Trump to Harris, saying it was a"wise investment."Harris said in a statement she is honored to have Biden’s endorsement to replace him as the Democrats' presidential nominee. Coons said he hopes the Democratic nominee “will be Vice President Kamala Harris” to “continue the important work that President Biden and Vice President Harris have successfully carried out these last three and a half years.”
"President Biden deserves our gratitude for his decades of service to our nation and for his courageous decision today," she added.Now that President Joe Biden has announced he won’t run for re-election, he has endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris, to be his successor as the Democratic presidential nominee.
"Through his policies and his example, Joe has reminded us of who we are at our best — a country committed to old-fashioned values like trust and honesty, kindness and hard work; a country that believes in democracy, rule of law, and accountability; a country that insists that everyone, no matter who they are, has a voice and deserves a chance at a better life," Obama said.
“My vote was already set. I’m going to vote Trump,” said Casey Bushick, who was in Grand Rapids today but lives in the Atlanta, Georgia, area and will vote there. Doggett also said Harris is"clearly the leading candidate," but also called for the Democratic Party to"be open to all talented individuals who wish to be considered."
"President Joe Biden is a patriotic American who has always put our country first," Pelosi said in a statement."His legacy of vision, values and leadership make him one of the most consequential Presidents in American history. With love and gratitude to President Biden for always believing in the promise of America and giving people the opportunity to reach their fulfillment."
“They need to point out his flaws, his character flaws," Brooker, a retired accountant, told NBC News. Huerta alluded to that mayhem, saying, “I’ve been in this position before and I will be a delegate to this convention.”Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, wished Biden well as he serves out the rest of his term, following the president's announcement to drop out of the 2024 election.
He said Biden “restored dignity to the Oval Office” and pointed out Trump “is a 34 time convicted felon, adjudicated to have committed sexual assault, a racist, homophobe and misogynist.” "As the first president to ever walk on a picket line with striking workers, he has been the most pro-working class president in modern American history," Sanders wrote."Thank you, Mr. President, for all you've done."
“It is almost without precedent, in the American experiment for a president, to make a decision like this,” Meacham said in an interview with MSNBC’s Katy Tur. “I think it tells us an enormous amount about the character of the incumbent.” "The work that we must do now, while unprecedented, is clear," he said."In the coming days, the Party will undertake a transparent and orderly process to move forward as a united Democratic Party with a candidate who can defeat Donald Trump in November. This process will be governed by established rules and procedures of the Party. Our delegates are prepared to take seriously their responsibility in swiftly delivering a candidate to the American people.
Romo said that as a delegate, he’ll wait for the democratic process to work but personally believes Vice President Kamala Harris should be delegates' first pick as the party’s presidential nominee. "While his decision today could not have been easy, it is in the best interest of our country, and our party," Beshear said in a statement today."I want to thank him for his leadership, kindness and for a successful presidency that got big, important things done."
“After lecturing others about democracy, they just forced Joe Biden off the ticket, trashing the primary choice of 14 million of their own voters,” Scalise said. Asking who she’d now like to see as the nominee, Yu said: “The dream would probably for me be Michelle Obama. But I don’t, you know. I see them on Twitter, vacationing and stuff. So, I’m like, maybe they want to chill.”
Johnson accused Biden of invalidating the votes of Americans who selected him as the Democratic nominee, saying it was in opposition to the values of democracy. He also criticized Harris, saying she also has had a hand in Biden's"policy failures" over the last four years.
"All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn’t capable of being President, and he wasn’t — And now, look what he’s done to our Country, with millions of people coming across our Border, totally unchecked and unvetted, many from prisons, mental institutions, and record numbers of terrorists," Trump said.
Biden’s collapse began with a June 27 debate against Trump, when he turned in a disastrous performance from which he couldn’t recover. An elderly president with his mouth agape, he struggled to complete a sentence or finish a thought. One by one, Democratic leaders who watched in alarm broke their polite silence and openly called on him to step aside.
Whitmer, who has been floated as a potential nominee to replace Biden, closed her statement by describing Trump as “completely wrong for Michigan.”So now that Biden is no longer seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, his delegates are free to do what they want at the convention.Right now, the rules say that the delegates simply have to “in all good conscience reflect the sentiments of those who elected them.
