from RNZUS President Joe Biden dropped his faltering re-election bid on Sunday, amid intensifying opposition within his own Democratic Party, and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him as the party’s candidate against Republican Donald Trump. Biden, 81, in a post on X said he will remain in his role as president and commander-in-chief until his term ends in January 2025. If officially nominated, Harris, 59, would become the first Black woman to run to lead a major-party ticket in US history. A former attorney general of California and former US senator, she ran unsuccessfully for president against Biden in 2020. “I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party – and unite our nation – to defeat Donald Trump.”
