President Biden sent a shock wave through the American political system on Sunday when he announced he was withdrawing from the 2024 race for the White House, leaving delegates he earned during the primary election scrambling for an alternative. Biden, who faced mounting pressure to step aside in the election and 'pass the torch' to another candidate, made the announcement in a post to X.
Democrats will officially choose their nominee at the convention, though they had reportedly planned to nominate Biden and Harris ahead of the convention prior to Biden's announcement. The Democratic National Convention will take place in Chicago from Aug. 19 to 22.
