President Joe Biden announced on Wednesday his decision to abandon his reelection campaign and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate. Biden emphasized the importance of uniting the country and saving democracy over his personal ambition for a second term.

Biden's decision follows a tumultuous debate with Donald Trump and increased scrutiny over his capacity to win against the Republican candidate or serve another term. Despite Biden's belief in his deserving reelection, he stressed, "nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy."

Kamala Harris has quickly garnered support across the Democratic Party, invigorating the election campaign. Biden praised Harris as a strong, capable leader and urged Americans to support her.
