Support growing for VP Harris after Biden drops out of presidential race

Published 2024-07-22
After weeks of speculation, President Biden announced his withdrawal from the presidential race and endorsed Harris.
It’s the first time in over 50 years that the incumbent president has dropped out mid-election. That last was President Lyndon B Johnson in March 1968. This is the first time an incumbent has dropped out this late in the presidential race.
Sunday’s news came in a very modern way – the president made the announcement on his X account. The announcement led to an outpour of reaction from voters, local lawmakers and legislators on Capitol Hill as we all wonder what will happen next.
