Bill and Hillary Clinton announced their endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris Sunday to become their party’s nominee for president after Joe Biden announced he is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race.
The Clintons, who were rumored to have resisted private calls for him to step aside, urged the party to unite around Harris.
“We’ve lived through many ups and downs, but nothing has made us more worried for our country than the threat posed by a second Trump term,” they said in a joint statement.

“Now is the time to support Kamala Harris and fight with everything we’ve got to elect her. America’s future depends on it.”
Read the full statement:
“[Biden] has capped his extraordinary career of service with a Presidency that has lifted 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. By any measure, he has advanced our founders’ charge to build a more perfect union and his own stated goal of restoring the soul of our nation… We join millions of Americans in thanking President Biden for all he has accomplished, standing up for America time and again, with his North Star always being what’s best for the country. We are honored to join the President in endorsing Vice President Harris and will do whatever we can to support her… We’ve lived through many ups and downs, but nothing has made us more worried for our country than the threat posed by a second Trump term. He has promised to be a dictator on day one, and the recent ruling by his servile Supreme Court will only embolden him to further shred the Constitution. Now is the time to support Kamala Harris and fight with everything we’ve got to elect her. America’s future depends on it.”
Shortly after Biden's announcement today, he endorsed Harris to take his place as the party's candidate.
Vice President Kamala Harris also announced she will seek the 2024 Democratic nomination after President Joe Biden said he would step aside and endorsed her candidacy, according to USA Today.
“I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination," Harris said. "Over the past year, I have traveled across the country, talking with Americans about the clear choice in this momentous election. And that is what I will continue to do in the days and weeks ahead. I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party—and unite our nation—to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda."
The process for replacing Harris is still uncertain, with some favoring an open process over simply coronating Harris.
