Harris moves to secure the Democratic presidential nomination after Biden drops out
VICE-PRESIDENT Kamala Harris moved swiftly on Sunday to lock up the Democratic presidential nomination after Joe Biden stepped down from the campaign to be re-elected as the United States president.
After withdrawing from the campaign, Mr Biden threw his support behind his vice-president.
“Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year,” he said in another post on X.
