First African American Woman Vice-President Has Chance To Be First Woman President

Date:

President Joe Biden, has stepped down from his re-election bid. He has now officially endorsed Kamala Harris for President.

“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 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. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.” – President Joe Biden
