President of the United States Joe Biden today at 8pm in Washington, 2am in Italy, will address the nation to explain his decision to withdraw from the race for the White House. NBCnews cited a source who said it would be a prime-time speech from the White House. Biden confirmed on X that he would “tell the country about what lies ahead and how I’m going to finish the job for the American people.” The president announced his decision on Sunday by releasing the text of a letter with which he gave his endorsement to Vice President Kamala Harris in the challenge against Donald Trump in the 2024 US elections in November. The primary polls seem to reward the Dems’ nomination almost making it official with the August convention.
“Thanks to Cheatle, I will appoint a new director of the Secret Service soon.”
Biden said he was “grateful” to the director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, who resigned after the storm over security management at the congress in Pennsylvania during which Donald Trump escaped an assassination attempt. “As a leader it takes honor, courage and incredible integrity to take full responsibility for an organization that has one of the most difficult jobs in the public service,” the US president said. “As we move forward, I wish Kim the best and intend to appoint a new leader soon,” he announced.
“Jill and I thank Director Kim Cheatle for his decades of service to the state,” said Biden, who knew Cheatle as his security detail when he was vice president. work with the Secret Service We are very grateful for agreeing to lead you during our administration and we are grateful for your service to our family.
“The independent investigation to establish what happened on July 13 continues and I am eager to evaluate its conclusions – it is shown once again referring to the assassination attempt of Trump – We all know that what happened on the day that can’t be done again”.
About those Calls for Biden’s resignation continue to come from Republicans said White House spokeswoman, Karine Jean-Pierre, interviewed by ABC. “I think it’s ridiculous,” he said. “The president has decided not to run for election again. That’s all, that’s all he decided. He wants to continue his job.”
Harris’ first cry of pain
“I’ve dealt with sexual predators, scammers, terrorists. I know people like Donald Trump,” Kamala Harris said at her first rally, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, since Biden came out. The Vice President began with a dedication to “the amazing President Joe Biden”. “Serving as Vice President has been one of the greatest achievements of my life and especially in the last 3 years is unparalleled, more than double what other governors have done in his time. his endorsement in this race,” Harris said. “The road to the White House runs through Wisconsin. And to win in Wisconsin, you are counted right here in Milwaukee. And all of it helps us win in 2020. And in 2024, we will win again,” he added.
“I have learned that we have the support of enough delegates to secure the Democratic nomination. I promise you that I will spend the next few weeks continuing to unify our party so that we can be ready to win in November . There are 105 days until the election, we have a lot to do but hard work does not scare us. And we will win this election. Yes, we will win,” he repeated.
Hence, the Trump attack: “I’m a California lawyer, and before that, I was a trial lawyer: predators who beat women, extortionists who cheat clients, criminals who break the law for my own profit come out when I say that I know people like Donald Trump and that in this campaign, I promise you, I will proudly put my record up every day of the week, work.
The first elections after the withdrawal of Biden, it was already Harris’s role
The first polls after Biden’s withdrawal from the race for the White House paint a picture influenced by the ‘Harris factor’. According to the poll published by the Morning Advisor, Trump’s advantage decreased significantly, standing at 47% against the vice president’s 45%. In the latest poll conducted by the same company, between July 15 and 17, Trump has a four-point lead over the Democratic president, with 46% against 42%. Then there is the Reuters-Ipsos poll, on a national basis and therefore not fully consistent with the electoral system, which even put 44% to Harris and 42% to Trump.
Harris’ husband: “Kamala has united the party and will reunite the country”
“Kamala Harris has united the party and will unite the country. She will earn the nomination and win this election,” said Harris’ husband, Douglas Emhoff, who emphasized that the current Democratic candidate for the White House is “a generation of rain a future where freedom exists” is not a “hell landscape that Donald Trump has created”. A world “where you are told you cannot read this book, that you cannot study certain things, that you cannot vote, all this must change”.
“You see the passion, the money raised, the group gathering – continued husband Harris, who spoke to the media and pointed to the reaction to the Vice candidate – you see what a great base of support you get in a day or two, because he talks about an America where we all have a chance.”
Leader dem Congresso: “Approval Nostro a Harris”
Democratic leaders in Congress, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, announced their endorsement of Harris’ White House bid. “Most of my councilors quickly and enthusiastically supported him and now that the process has been developed, from the ground up, we are here to give our support to the vice president,” said the head of the house – said the Senate.
“Vice President Harris is elected from the bottom up and not from the top down,” said House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, who said “he is proud to support Kamala Harris as the 47th President of the United States”.
“President Biden has made a generous decision to pass the baton to a Vice President who is ready, willing and able to lead us into the future – he added – Kamala Harris and her candidate have brought passion and energy to the Democratic convention, the group. and country”.
The Harris team has begun evaluating 5 possible vice president candidates
Meanwhile, the Harris presidential campaign has begun the process of choosing a vice presidential candidate, asking for a tool to evaluate five different possible ‘running mates’. According to sources cited by NBCnews, they will be the governor of North Carolina, Roy Cooper, the governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, the senator of Arizona, Mark Kelly, the governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer and the governor of Minnesota Tim Walz.
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona and North Carolina are among the key states that are critical to the outcome of the upcoming November elections.. Two other names are also being discussed, the governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker and former congressman from Louisiana, Cedric Richmond, who is the chairman of the Biden-Harris campaign. But it is not clear whether the ‘vetting’, i.e. the formal candidate evaluation process, has started for them and also for the governor of Kentucky, Andy Beshear, whose name is still circulating as a possible candidate.
The attorney general of the Obama administration, Eric Holder, has the task of leading, with his law firm, the process of vetting several candidates, a task that took several months but now will have to take place in a few weeks , since the goal is to choose the vice president before the Chicago convention begins on August 19. While it is believed that Harris’s candidacy – which has received the support of many representatives – can be established by a virtual vote in the first week of June Eighth.
