3:05pm- On Sunday, in a post to the social media platform X, President Joe Biden announced that he would withdraw immediately from the 2024 presidential race. He reasoned: “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And 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.” Later Biden posted once more from his X account, endorsing his Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor: “My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve 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.”

3:15pm- Will Kamala Harris ultimately become the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee? President Joe Biden, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Governors Gretchen Whitmer and Gavin Newsom have all endorsed Harris. It could be difficult for another candidate to challenge her. Reid Epstein of The New York Times writes: “Only officials at the Democratic National Committee and the Biden campaign have the full roster of delegates. If someone decided to run against Ms. Harris, the first challenge would be to gain access to the people who will make that decision. Without access to the delegate list, alternative candidates to Ms. Harris are effectively blocked from both canvassing the delegates for their opinions and trying to persuade them to support someone other than Ms. Harris. There is no evidence to date that any serious political campaign other than Mr. Biden’s and the D.N.C. has made an effort to reach out to the convention’s delegates.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/article/biden-drop-out-nomination-delegates-harris.html

3:40pm- In response to Joe Biden withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race and endorsing Kamala Harris as his replacement, former Democrat presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard urged voters to cast their ballots for Donald Trump.
