Biden endorsed U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democrat ticket and will serve out his term. His decision to pull out of the presidential race comes shortly after he contracted COVID-19 a second time.
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. 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… pic.twitter.com/x8DnvuImJV

Kamala is a fantastic candidate for the Democrats and unlike Biden, she has all the odds going for her. Kamala will make a good opponent to Trump and it looks like America will have its first female President very soon.
On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country.

I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.
Did Joe Biden Do the Right Thing By Pulling Out of the Presidential Race?
Yes. I believe that Biden has done the right thing by pulling out of the presidential race. Despite being a phenomenal president, Joe Biden had all the odds stacked against him. One, he is 81 years old, way too old and frail to participate in a presidential race against a younger and more energetic Donald Trump. As I had opined a few days back, had Joe Biden continued his re-election bid, he would have risked a second Democrat loss to Trump, as even the polls said he was the weaker candidate.

Who Will Be the Next President of America?
The next president of America will be the man or woman who will manage to encapture the hearts and confidence of Americans. Kamala Harris, now the likely Democrat nominee, will need to give the presidential race everything she has, as Trump is polling quite strongly.

On the other hand, Donald Trump has just been thrown his biggest curveball this election cycle. Even as Biden's withdrawal from the race may seem like a win for him, Kamala is a much more dangerous candidate to his presidential aspirations. She is an astute, heated critic of his policies who has a background in law, as she was previously a prosecutor. A girl interviewed Kamala about her experience as VP in the video below.

So, I dare say, that the next president of the United States will be the first female president, Her Excellency President [to be] Kamala Harris.

Everything about Biden stepping down screams rich oligarchs controlling the Democratic Party. If they cared about democracy, the Clintons and billionaire donors wouldn't pick the candidate. Vote Trump! Four more years will fix the economy and end the wars. Stand for freedom, not…
