Joe Biden Endorses Kamala Harris for President in Historic Move
Revisit our stories on the U.S. Vice President as she reenters the spotlight for the 2024 presidential race.
Since U.S. President Joe Biden ended his reelection bid and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris on July 21, Harris has emerged as the frontrunner to be the Democrats’ presidential nominee. This is the first time in decades that a president eligible for a second term has chosen not to run.
Harris ran a presidential campaign in 2020 but failed to win her party’s nomination, which went to Biden. If the party nominates her in 2024, Harris would make history as the first South Asian woman and the first Black woman to do so for either major party. And if she wins the election on November 5, she’ll shatter the highest glass ceiling in the U.S., becoming the country’s first female president.
Harris, who was born to an Indian mother and Jamaican father, has already added $50 million to her war chest since the news broke. As we continue reporting on the 2024 U.S. presidential race, dive into just some of our stories on Harris.
