In a surprising turn of events, President Joe Biden has officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him as the Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election. This announcement follows a strategic shift within the Democratic Party.
Biden expressed his support for Harris, stating, “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.”
This development aligns with predictions made by Alex Jones, a controversial figure known for his far-right radio show and conspiracy theories. Jones had forecasted Biden’s withdrawal from the race by July 20, 2024.
President Joe Biden’s decision not to seek re-election comes as he chooses to focus on completing his current term effectively. The announcement was made on July 21, 2024, via his official social media account, where he shared the following statement:
“My Fellow Americans,
Over the past three and a half years, we have made great progress as a Nation.
Today, America has the strongest economy in the world. We’ve made historic investments in rebuilding our Nation, in lowering prescription drug costs for seniors, and in expanding affordable health care to a record number of Americans. We’ve provided critically needed care to a million veterans exposed to toxic substances. Passed the first gun safety law in 30 years.
Appointed the first African American woman to the Supreme Court. And passed the most significant climate legislation in the history of the world. America has never been better positioned to lead than we are today. I know none of this could have been done without you, the American people.
Together, we overcame a once in a century pandemic and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We’ve protected and preserved our Democracy. And we’ve revitalised and strengthened our alliances around the world.

It has been the greatest honour 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.
I will speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision.
For now, let me express my deepest gratitude to all those who have worked so hard to see me reelected. I want to thank Vice President Kamala Harris for being an extraordinary partner in all this work. And let me express my heartfelt appreciation to the American people for the faith and trust you have placed in me.
I believe today what I always have: that there is nothing America can’t do – when we do it together. We just have to remember we are the United States of America.”
Political analysts suggest that President Joe Biden’s decision may be influenced by potential challenges in competing against former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election. The recent incident involving an attempted attack on Trump by Thomas Matthew Crooks has reportedly boosted his popularity among voters.
