President Joe Biden is dropping out of the 2024 race following a disastrous debate with Republican Donald Trump, throwing the Democratic Party into chaos just months before the election.
He did throw his support behind VP Kamala Harris to lead Democrats against Trump, aiming to avoid further party chaos.
Still a shocking development for an election many in the party argue is among the most consequential in a lifetime because of Trump’s plans for a dramatic government overhaul formed around his grievances.
Biden won the vast majority of delegates and every nominating contest but one, which would’ve made his nomination mostly a formality. Now that he’s dropped out, those delegates will be free to support another candidate. What happens after that is unclear.
