President Biden addressed his early exit from the presidential race during a call to the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday.
President Biden on Monday made his first public comment since announcing his withdrawal from the presidential race a day earlier during a call into the headquarters of Vice President Harris, who he endorsed following his announcement.
Speaking to campaign staffers in Wilmington, Delaware, Harris acknowledged that the past day had “been a roller coaster” after Biden announced he was dropping out of the race. Biden addressed his sudden departure from the race just weeks before the Democratic National Convention.
“I know yesterday’s news is surprising, and it’s hard for you to hear, but it was the right thing to do”, he said.
