President Joe Biden ended his reelection bid and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him on Sunday, CNN reports.
The president said he will finish his term and will address the nation later this week.
Harris said she’s “honored” to receive Biden’s endorsement and vowed to “earn and win” the nomination.
Harris could be the first Black woman and first Asian American to lead the ticket of a major political party.
In a move that would give her access to the campaign funds, the Biden-Harris campaign amended filings with the Federal Election Commission to rename its principal committee and declare Harris a candidate for president.
