President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he is dropping his reelection bid against Donald Trump, in a social media post that sent political shockwaves around the country and threw an element of turmoil into the election just months before voters go to the polls.

Biden's decision came on the heels of a poor debate performance that prompted many rank-and-file Democratic lawmakers to urge him to withdraw from the race. The president said he will address the nation later this week ā€œin more detail about my decision.ā€

Biden threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democrats' new candidate, and she vowed to ā€œearn and winā€ the nomination.

Republican leaders attacked Harris and said she shares responsibility for the policies of the Biden administration. Former President Donald Trump said Biden ā€œwas not fit to run for president,ā€ and he also called for the second debate to be moved from ABC to the Fox News Channel, which is seen as friendlier to him.

Homeland Security secretary names independent panel to review Trump assassination attempt

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has appointed a bipartisan, independent panel to review this monthā€™s assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, officials said Sunday.

The panel members will have ā€œextensive law enforcement and security experience to conduct a 45-day independent review of the planning for and actions taken by the U.S. Secret Service and state and local authorities before, during, and after the rally, and the U.S. Secret Service governing policies and procedures,ā€ the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement.

The first people named to the panel are former Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano; Frances Townsend, former Homeland Security adviser to President George W. Bush; Mark Filip, a former federal judge and deputy attorney general to President George W. Bush; and David Mitchell, former Secretary of the Department of Public Safety and Homeland Security for the state of Delaware.

Additional experts could be asked to join the group in the coming days.

Small-dollar donations total $46.7 million for Harris

ActBlue, the Democratic fundraising platform, announced that it had collected $46.7 million as of 9 p.m. ET from small-dollar donations for Vice President Harrisā€™ campaign.

The Biden campaign and affiliated groups previously had about $96 million in cash on hand. The Republican National Convention, by contrast, reported a campaign fund of $102 million in June.

Trumpā€™s campaign quickly pivots to Harris after Biden withdraws

Donald Trumpā€™s campaign has spent the last year and a half viciously attacking Joe Biden, ridiculing his policies, mocking his fumbles and relishing a rematch they felt they were winning.

But it has also spent weeks preparing for the possibility that he might exit the race, readying a bevy of attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris that it unleashed as soon as Biden made his stunning announcement Sunday that he would step aside.

Biden soon after endorsed Harris, who was quickly winning support from Democrats to be the partyā€™s nominee.

The shakeup less than four months before Election Day lays out new challenges for Trumpā€™s team, which had until recently been focused on contrasting the former presidentā€™s vigor and mental acuity with Bidenā€™s.

Some states' convention delegates begin shifting support to Harris

The Democratic delegations of multiple states have decided to back Vice President Kamala Harris for the party nomination at next monthā€™s national convention.

ā€œTonight, all 168 delegates of the North Carolina Democratic Party made history,ā€ North Carolina party chair Anderson Clayton said in a post on the social platform X.

In South Carolina, party chair Christale Spain said in an email statement Sunday night that that stateā€™s delegation met virtually. The vice president ā€œhas been fully vetted, and she has earned our unwavering support,ā€ Spain said.

Harris received her first delegates earlier in the day from Tennessee, when the state party posted on X that its delegation voted during a meeting to back her.

Another state where the switch was made was New Hampshire, where the 25 pledged delegates voted unanimously Sunday night to endorse Harris.

Black state attorneys general back Harris

The nationā€™s six Black state attorneys general threw their support behind Vice President Harris. In a statement on X, they laid out her qualifications and said she ā€œhas staunchly defended our right to choose and preserved our most sacred right to vote. There is no one more qualified to lead and continue to uphold the values of our great nation.ā€

The statement listed Letitia James, New York; Kwame Raoul, Illinois; Anthony Brown, Maryland; Andrea Campbell, Massachusetts; Keith Ellison, Minnesota; and Aaron Ford, Nevada.

Democrats promise ā€˜orderly processā€™ to replace Biden. Harris is favored, but questions remain

Shortly after President Joe Biden announced that he would drop his reelection campaign, Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison had a message: There would be no automatic coronation for his replacement.

ā€œIn the coming days, the party will undertake a transparent and orderly process to move forward,ā€ Harrison said in a statement. ā€œThis process will be governed by established rules and procedures of the party. Our delegates are prepared to take seriously their responsibility in swiftly delivering a candidate to the American people.ā€œ

The comment reflected the reality that while Vice President Kamala Harris is emerging as the prohibitive favorite to become the nominee ā€” backed already by Biden and many Democrats ā€” itā€™s not so simple. And for now, the party isnā€™t offering many details on what happens next.

Outside the White House: ā€˜We love you Joe!ā€™

Dozens of people came to the street outside the presidential residence as news of Bidenā€™s withdrawal from the campaign set in.

There were signs with messages like ā€œWe love you Joe!ā€ and chants of ā€œThank you Joe!ā€ as adults and some children took photos or just gazed at the complex that serves as both the president's home and the seat of executive power.

Biden was not at the White House this weekend. Instead he was recuperating from COVID-19 at his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

Another sign read: ā€œYou did it, Joe! Now letā€™s make some history,ā€ a reference to Harrisā€™ exclamation of ā€œWe did it, Joe!ā€ during a phone call with Biden after their ticket was determined to have won the 2020 election.

Bidenā€™s decision to drop out crystalized Sunday. His staff knew one minute before the public did

At 1:45 p.m., President Joe Bidenā€™s senior staff was notified that he was stepping away from the 2024 race. At 1:46 p.m., that message was made public.

It was never Bidenā€™s intention to leave the race: Up until he decided to step aside Sunday, he was all in.

His campaign was planning fundraisers and events and setting up travel over the next few weeks. But even as Biden was publicly dug in and insisting he was staying in the race, he was quietly reflecting on the disaster of the past few weeks, on the past three years of his presidency and on the scope of his half-century career in politics.

In the end, it was the presidentā€™s decision alone, and he made it quietly, from his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, sick with COVID-19, the first lady with him as he talked it through with a small circle of people who have been with him for decades.

Sen. Manchin considers reregistering as a Democrat to seek the presidential nomination

Though some potential challengers to Harris for the Democratic bid have already made it clear they would not run, there is some early indication that she might not be alone in seeking the nomination.

West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, who left the party earlier this year to become an independent, is considering reregistering as a Democrat to vie for the nomination against the vice president, according to Jonathan Kott, a longtime adviser to Manchin.

Manchin, who repeatedly irked Democrats with his independent streak but was also a lynchpin for the Biden administrationā€™s biggest legislative accomplishments, was the latest senator to call on Biden to drop his candidacy before the president made his announcement Sunday.

In Harris' hometown, a voter looks forward to having her as a candidate but says she must move quickly

Christian Garcia of Oakland, California, said heā€™s looking forward to having Harris become more widely known to voters nationwide. But Garcia also said Harris, who was born in Oakland, must move fast if she is to get the nomination and beat Trump.

ā€œI mean, youā€™re talking about a really quick turnaround,ā€ Garcia said. ā€œSheā€™s got a lot of work to do, and the partyā€™s got a lot of work to do to get behind her.ā€

In his view, one of Harrisā€™ main challenges is a problem that hurt Hillary Clinton: an ability to be relatable to average voters. Garcia also worries that the Trump campaign will stop at nothing to go after Harris.

ā€œWe know Trump and his allies will do anything they can to lie and make up stories and bring out old skeletons,ā€ he said.

Garcia, 36, commended Biden for stepping aside, calling him a ā€œstatesman.ā€

In swing state Pennsylvania, a Trump backer says Biden's exit long overdue

Kristine Stoll is a Trump backer from Dunmore, which is next door to Scranton, where Biden was born. She said Biden isnā€™t mentally stable enough to run the country.

ā€œItā€™s about time, he should have dropped out a long time ago,ā€ said Stoll, 56.

She does not fear Harris or really anyone else who could top the Democratic ticket when it comes to winning the key battleground state.

ā€œTrumpā€™s going to take Pennsylvania this time, definitely going to take Pennsylvania,ā€ Stoll said. ā€œThereā€™s no doubt about it, doesnā€™t matter who runs.ā€

Democrats begin to rally around Harris after Biden exits, though campaign dynamics remain in flux

Democrats quickly rallied around Vice President Kamala Harris as their likely presidential nominee Sunday after President Joe Biden ā€™s ground-shaking decision to bow out of the 2024 race.

Among others, endorsements came from Biden; Bill and Hillary Clinton; prominent U.S. senators; a wide swath of House representatives and members of the influential Congressional Black Caucus; and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who has been the subject of speculation as a potential running mate.

But the fast-moving political situation remains volatile just months before the November election.

Zelenskyy: ā€˜We will always be thankful for President Bidenā€™s leadershipā€™

ā€œWe respect todayā€™s tough but strong decision,ā€ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a post on the social platform X.

ā€œWe will always be thankful for President Bidenā€™s leadership. He supported our country during the most dramatic moment in history, assisted us in preventing Putin from occupying our country, and has continued to support us throughout this terrible war.ā€

Zelenskyy spoke with former President Trump by phone Friday. Both men described it as a good call on X.

Democrats are poised to attack Trumpā€™s age

A political weakness that hounded Biden ā€” age ā€” could become an avenue for attack against Trump.

ā€œThis will probably boil down to Donald Trump, who is the oldest nominee in history, against Kamala Harris,ā€ said Rep. Maxwell Frost, a 27-year-old Democrat from Florida who has worked to reach young voters for Bidenā€™s campaign.

Frost, who endorsed Harris, pointed to the vice presidentā€™s work on gun violence protection as an issue that could engage young voters and said she ā€œwill be able to win back a lot of the youth vote.ā€

ā€œShe is someone who really values young voices in general,ā€ he said.

Harris could become first woman, second Black person to be president

Sheā€™s already broken barriers, and now Kamala Harris could shatter several more after President Joe Biden abruptly ended his reelection bid and endorsed her.

Harris is the first woman, Black person or person of South Asian descent to serve as vice president. If she becomes the Democratic nominee and defeats Republican candidate Donald Trump in November, she would be the first woman to serve as president.

Read a profile of Harris here.

Trump says Biden was ā€˜not fit to runā€™

Former president Donald Trump posted on his social network Truth Social that ā€œCrooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for presidentā€ and is not fit to serve.

ā€œAll those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasnā€™t capable of being President, and he wasnā€™t,ā€ he said.

Trump and members of the RNC spent much of their week at the Republican National Convention calling for a ratcheting down of the political temperature and touting the importance of American unity in light of last week's assassination attempt.

The former president is also calling for the second debate to be switched to the Fox News Channel, which is seen as friendlier to him, now that Biden has dropped out.

He said in a Truth Social post that whoever becomes the Democratic nominee should face him on that network ā€œrather than the very biased ABC.ā€ Trump and Biden had previously agreed to meet in a second debate Sept. 10 hosted by ABC.

Harris hits the phones

As Vice President Harris looks to lock up the nomination, she is hitting the phones and making her case to Democrats in Congress.

She spoke with Democratic lawmakers Sunday including Rep. Annie Kuster, who chairs a moderate group called the New Democrat Coalition and endorsed Harris in the afternoon.

Harris also quickly won endorsements from leadership in several influential caucuses.

While some Democrats remained silent on who they want for a nominee, many others said the party should immediately assemble behind Harris. They want to quickly move past the painful, public deliberations of the weeks since the July 27 debate.

Harris inherits Bidenā€™s campaign infrastructure

President Bidenā€™s campaign formally changed its name to Harris for President, reflecting that she is inheriting his political operation ā€” a sign of the prohibitive leg up she has for the Democratic nomination.

Democratic groups, including the Democratic National Committee, also filed paperwork changing the names of their joint fundraising committees to reflect Harrisā€™ candidacy.

Meanwhile Biden urged his vast list of supporters to contribute to what is now the Harris campaign, saying in an email sent Sunday afternoon that picking her as his running mate is the ā€œbest decision Iā€™ve made.ā€

ā€œToday I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year,ā€ Biden wrote. ā€œDemocrats ā€” itā€™s time to come together and beat Trump. And if youā€™re with us, donate to her campaign.ā€

Bidenā€™s legacy: far-reaching accomplishments that didnā€™t translate into political support

Historians and political advisers say history will be kinder to President Joe Biden than voters have been.

David Axelrod, a former senior adviser to President Barack Obama, said Bidenā€™s legacy will include many legislative achievements, but above all, he will be remembered as the president who defeated Donald Trump.

White House expects no serious challenge to Harris; convention delegates show early signs of unity

Inside the White House, thereā€™s low expectation that Harris will get a serious challenge following Bidenā€™s endorsement, according to a person familiar with deliberations who requested anonymity to discuss the private conversations.

Among potential top tier contenders, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has already said she wonā€™t run, while California Gov. Gavin Newsom has said he would back Harris if she became the nominee.

Other names that have been bandied about as viable contenders ā€” including Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper ā€” would also seem unlikely to run in light of Bidenā€™s endorsement for Harris and the expected fundraising advantage she would hold over anyone else.

Meanwhile delegates who are pledged to support Biden at the Democratic National Convention expressed admiration for the president and also showed early signs of uniting around Harris.

ā€œI believe itā€™s her time and has earned the right to be our nominee,ā€ said Paul Pezzella, a Massachusetts delegate who has been active in Democratic politics for decades. ā€œI canā€™t think any American isnā€™t sad about Bidenā€™s decision and that he has proven to be a patriot.ā€

Lee Cutler, political coordinator for the Northeast Area Labor Council affiliated with the Minnesota AFL-CIO, said he wishes Democrats had been able to start the process of replacing Biden earlier in the electoral cycle but he is also proud of the president.

ā€œWhen we were voting for Biden, we were also voting for Kamala Harris,ā€ Cutler said. ā€œWe were voting for an 82-year-old man.ā€

Upcoming Biden-Netanyahu meeting is still on

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with President Joe Biden at the White House this week as planned, despite Bidenā€™s withdrawal from the presidential race, a person familiar with Bidenā€™s schedule said Sunday.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly, said the exact timing of the meeting has not been established because Biden is recovering from COVID-19.

Netanyahu is scheduled to deliver an address to Congress on Wednesday. He is also expected to meet with Vice President Kamala Harris, who is now seeking the Democratic Partyā€™s nomination.

An official in Netanyahuā€™s office confirmed that the Israeli leader was set to travel to Washington, as scheduled, on Monday. The official also spoke on condition of anonymity pending a formal announcement.

Some world reactions to Bidenā€™s withdrawal

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov urged Russians to ā€œpay attentionā€ and ā€œwatch what will happenā€ in the U.S. election in November now that Biden has withdrawn his candidacy.

Peskov was quoted by Russian pro-Kremlin tabloid Life.ru as saying that ā€œthere are still four months until the elections. And this is a long period, during which a lot can change.ā€

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called Biden a friend and said the president has achieved a lot for the U.S., Europe and the world. Scholz cited a strong NATO and close transatlantic cooperation as examples.

New British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who met Biden for the first time this month, said he knows he reached his decision based on what he believes is in the ā€œbest interests of the American people.ā€

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thanked Biden and the first lady Jill Biden, saying on the social platform X; ā€œHeā€™s a great man, and everything he does is guided by his love for his country. As President, he is a partner to Canadians ā€” and a true friend.ā€

And Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese praised the U.S. president for his ā€œleadership and ongoing serviceā€ and said the two countriesā€™ alliance ā€œhas never been stronger with our shared commitment to democratic values, international security, economic prosperity and climate action for this and future generations.ā€

Clyburn, credited with helping Biden win the 2020 nomination, endorses Harris

South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn, who is credited with helping President Joe Biden win the partyā€™s nomination four years ago with his endorsement, has thrown his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris.

Clyburn, a co-chair of Bidenā€™s campaign, said the president showed good judgment in choosing a running mate who has the necessary ā€œvalues and vision.ā€ He said he is proud to follow Bidenā€™s lead in supporting Harris.

Clyburn also heaped praise on Biden. He said the president ā€œimproved the lives of countless Americans through his selfless serviceā€ and thanked him for his strong leadership.ā€

Vance says Harris ā€˜ownsā€™ Bidenā€™s policies

Trumpā€™s running mate, JD Vance, who was initially expected to face off against Kamala Harris in a debate, linked her Sunday to all of Bidenā€™s policies.

Vance said Harris ā€œco-signedā€ Bidenā€™s border and climate policies and that those drove up prices for housing and groceries.

ā€œShe owns all of these failures,ā€ Vance said on the social platform X.

ā€œPresident Trump and I are ready to save America, whoeverā€™s at the top of the Democrat ticket,ā€ the Ohio senator said. ā€œBring it on.ā€

Kamala Harris says she's honored to have Biden's support

Vice President Kamala Harris says she is honored to have President Joe Bidenā€™s support to replace him as the Democratic nominee heading into the November election.

Harris said she intends to ā€œearn and win this nomination.ā€

She released a statement calling the 81-year-old Biden's decision to end his reelection campaign a ā€œselfless and patriotic act.ā€

She also thanked Biden for ā€œextraordinary leadershipā€ and argued that his legacy as a one-term president would surpass the records of many chief executives who served two terms in office.

Some Democratic governors praise Biden but donā€™t immediately endorse Harris as his successor

Govs. J.B. Pritzker of Illinois, Laura Healy of Kansas, Andy Beshear of Kentucky and Tim Walz of Minnesota are among Democrats who are praising Biden's record of public service. But they didnā€™t follow the presidentā€™s lead and endorse Harris as his successor.

Beshear said Biden will be remembered as a ā€œconsequential presidentā€ who, with Harris, led the country through the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Walz, who heads the Democratic Governors Association, said ā€œhistory will look fondly on his legacy.ā€

Healy said few could have ā€œrisen to the challengeā€ like Biden. The Massachusetts governor had issued a statement several weeks ago urging Biden to think hard about his campaign.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer also praised Bidenā€™s public service Sunday, saying on social media platform X that Biden ā€œknows better than anyone what it takes to defeat Donald Trump."

ā€œMy job in this election will remain the same: doing everything I can to elect Democrats and stop Donald Trump, a convicted felon whose agenda of raising familiesā€™ costs, banning abortion nationwide, and abusing the power of the White House to settle his own scores is completely wrong for Michigan,ā€ she said.

Former President Barack Obama praises Biden, stops short of endorsing Harris

Former President Barack Obama has praised President Joe Biden's decision to abandon his reelection quest. But Obama stopped short of endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to replace Biden as the Democratic nominee the 2024 presidential race.

Obama called Biden, his former vice president, ā€œone of Americaā€™s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me.ā€

Obama said Sunday that when he picked Biden as his running mate in the 2008 campaign, ā€œwhat I came to admire even more was his character ā€” ā€Šhis deep empathy and hard-earned resilience; his fundamental decency and belief that everyone counts.ā€

Obama said Biden ā€œhas never backed down from a fight,ā€ adding that ā€œhe wouldnā€™t make this decision unless he believed it was right for America.

Of whatā€™s to come, Obama said he has ā€œextraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges.ā€ That nominee will face Republican and former President Donald Trump in November.

Clintons throw their support behind Kamala Harris

Former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued a joint statement endorsing Kamala Harris, saying itā€™s time to "fight with everything weā€™ve got" to elect her.

The Clintons said Biden in his ā€œextraordinary careerā€ had ā€œlifted America out of an unprecedented pandemic, created millions of new jobs, rebuilt a battered economy, strengthened our democracy, and restored our standing in the world.ā€

They added that Bidenā€™s leadership had ā€œadvanced our foundersā€™ charge to build a more perfect union and his own stated goal of restoring the soul of our nation.ā€

DNC says top priority is a candidate who can beat Trump

Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison says following President Joe Bidenā€™s abandoning his reelection bid that ā€œthe work that we must do now, while unprecedented, is clear.ā€

ā€œIn the coming days, the party will undertake a transparent and orderly process to move forward,ā€ Harrison said in a statement, with ā€œa candidate who can defeat Donald Trump in November.ā€

ā€œThis process will be governed by established rules and procedures of the party,ā€ Harrison added. ā€œOur delegates are prepared to take seriously their responsibility in swiftly delivering a candidate to the American people.ā€

His statement also noted: ā€œIn short order, the American people will hear from the Democratic Party on next steps and the path forward for the nomination process.ā€

Biden throws support behind his vice president, Kamala Harris

President Joe Biden has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to take on Trump in November, and encouraged the Democratic Party to unite behind her.

In a stunning social media post Sunday, Biden announced he was pulling out of the race for a second term in the White House.

ā€œIt has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,ā€ Biden wrote in a letter posted to his X account.

Biden threw his support behind Harris.

ā€œToday I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year,ā€ he said in a separate post. ā€œDemocrats ā€” itā€™s time to come together and beat Trump.ā€

Schumer, first lady react to decision by Biden to drop reelection bid

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement that President Joe Biden ā€œhas not only been a great president and a great legislative leader but he is a truly amazing human being.

Biden announced Sunday that he was dropping out of the 2024 presidential race.

ā€œHis decision of course was not easy, but he once again put his country, his party, and our future first,ā€ said Schumer, who traveled to Rehoboth Beach earlier this month to speak to Biden directly about the race. ā€œJoe, today shows you are a true patriot and great American.ā€

First lady Jill Biden responded by reposting the presidentā€™s letter announcing his decision and adding red heart emojis.

Granddaughter Naomi Biden Neal said on social media that ā€œIā€™m nothing but proud of my Pop.ā€

She said he has served the country ā€œwith every bit of his soul and with unmatched distinctionā€ and that ā€œour world is better today in so many ways thanks to him.ā€

Biden ends his bid for reelection

President Joe Biden announced that he is ending his bid for reelection after a disastrous debate inflamed doubts heā€™s fit for four more years on the job.
