Biden backs VP Harris after dropping out of presidential race | DW News

After confirming he was dropping out of the presidential race, US President Joe Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement. "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," Biden wrote.

The 59-year-old Harris entered politics after rising through the ranks to become California's top public prosecutor. Her time in the White House, however, did not do much to raise her public profile. She was perceived as being in Biden's shadow and attacked by the Republican party over her efforts to curb the influx of immigrants arriving from Mexico. Harris, however, has an advantage over other potential candidates due to her access to campaign funds she has already raised with Biden.
