Joe Biden out, Kamala Harris in?
Incumbent VP gains support of top Democrats after President Biden exits 2024 race.
A growing number of senior Democrats are throwing their support behind Kamala Harris to become the party's presidential nominee, after Joe Biden dramatically quit the race. The US president withdrew from November's election on Sunday, having faced weeks of calls to step aside following a calamitous TV debate against Republican opponent Donald Trump. President Biden immediately endorsed his vice president as his favoured candidate, who says she intends to "earn and win" the nomination.
In this episode, James Reynolds is joined by former 成人快手 Washington correspondent Nick Bryant and special correspondent Jim Naughtie for their reaction. And the 成人快手's US special correspondent Katty Kay also drops in to give her assessment of how this impacts campaigning for both parties.
