Biden Returns to D.C., Addresses Decision to Drop Reelection Bid and Back Harris for President

HeadlineJul 25, 2024

President Biden addressed his decision to drop out of the presidential race Wednesday in a televised address from the Oval Office.

President Joe Biden: “Nothing — nothing — can come in the way of saving our democracy. That includes personal ambition. So I’ve decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation.”

Biden threw his support behind Kamala Harris, calling her “experienced, tough and capable.” This comes as the DNC set August 1 as the date for a virtual roll call to officially nominate the Democratic presidential nominee.
