Biden endorses Kamala Harris after bowing out of 2024 race

President Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris after announcing he is dropping out of the 2024 run for re-election.

"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.
