The US presidential race has gained momentum. President Joe Biden has withdrawn from the presidential race despite prolonged pressure. Biden’s decision to withdraw was supported by many members of the House of Representatives, senators and donors.

After Biden withdrew his candidacy, Vice President Kamala Harris’ candidacy came to the fore. In addition to those who supported Harris within the Democratic Party, there were also those who remained silent. While former President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton announced their support for Harris, some names remained silent.

Republicans’ Response
After Biden withdrew his candidacy, Republicans called for Biden to resign as president as well, and former President Donald Trump also made statements on the subject.
Vice Presidential Candidate Uncertainty
Harris is expected to be the presidential candidate, but no vice presidential candidate has yet been chosen. California Governor Gavin Newsom and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg are among the possible candidates.
