Vance on Biden: The worst president

Earthquake in the USA: Biden withdraws, Harris confirms
Joe Biden announced on Sunday on X that he is withdrawing from the presidential race. He will justify his decision in an address to the nation and declare that he will fulfill his duties until the end of his term.
The probable new Democratic Party candidate will be Vice President Kamala Harris. Her statement has appeared online.
Harris highlighted in her communication that she is "honored to have the president's support" and now intends to earn the Democratic Party's nomination.
"There are 107 days left until the election. Together we will fight. And together we will win," reads Harris's statement, which appeared on the campaign's website rather than via the White House.
"I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party and our country to defeat Donald Trump," Harris emphasized.
