US President Joe Biden has given his "complete backing and endorsement" to Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party's nominee for the forthcoming elections. Biden affirmed his support on X (formerly Twitter), shortly after declaring his choice to withdraw from the competition.

Key Point: 

• “Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats – it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this,” Biden wrote
• Former US President and the Republican Party’s pick Donald Trump was quick to comment on the withdrawal of his likely rival, slamming Biden as the “worst president ever.”

Emphasizing that he would "decline the nomination" and concentrate all his "efforts" on his presidential responsibilities, Biden asserted that selecting Harris as his vice president was the "optimal choice" he made. 

“Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats – it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this,” Biden wrote.

Shortly before endorsing Harris, Biden released an open letter to announce his withdrawal from the presidential race. 

“While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” he wrote, promising to address the nation on the matter later on.

Former US President and the Republican Party’s pick Donald Trump was quick to comment on the withdrawal of his likely rival, slamming Biden as the “worst president ever.” Trump also approved of the Harris endorsement, suggesting that defeating her “will be easier than Biden.”
