'I will do everything to defeat Mr. Trump'

Ms. Harris is supported by Mr. Trump

Early morning of July 22 (Vietnam time), President Biden announced his withdrawal from the 2024 White House race, shortly after that he said he supported his deputy, Vice President Kamala Harris, to run.

Speaking after receiving President Biden's endorsement, Ms. Harris expressed her honor and desire to win this nomination.

“Over the past year, I have traveled the country, talking to Americans about the clear choice in this momentous election. And that is what I will continue to do in the days and weeks ahead. I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party – and unite our country – to defeat Donald Trump and his radical Project 2025 agenda,” she said.

"We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win," said Ms. Harris.

Meanwhile, according to CNN, Mr. Trump said that "Ms. Harris will be easier to defeat than Mr. Biden".

Ms. Harris declared that she will do everything to unite the Democratic Party, unite America and defeat Mr. Trump.

Several potential Democratic candidates are in 'wait and see' mode, as they look to fill in after President Biden withdraws from the party's nomination.

According to CNN, these candidates are assessing the level of support from the Democratic Party for Vice President Kamala Harris, while also not wanting to rush into action immediately after Mr. Biden announced his withdrawal on July 21.

Can former Presidents Clinton and Obama help choose a candidate to replace Mr. Biden?

Now, the Democrats must choose a new candidate without going through the primary election process. The new decision will be made by about 4,700 delegates attending the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, from August 19.

There are reports that Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia may consider running against Ms. Harris, who is considered a likely candidate to replace Mr. Biden. Mr. Manchin is an independent after leaving the Democratic Party on May 31. MSNBC reported that Mr. Manchin is considering running for president and may return to the Democratic Party to compete against Ms. Harris.

Democratic author and activist Marianne Williamson said she was still in the race, after aggressively criticizing Mr Biden for his less-than-ideal debate performance. She said she would “convince the Democratic delegates that I am the best candidate to lead us to victory in November”.

Other Democratic hopefuls include governors Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker, Andy Beshear, and Wes Moore, as well as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

However, many people like Mr. Newsom and Mr. Buttigieg have publicly endorsed Ms. Harris. According to PBS, the White House predicted that Ms. Harris would not face a major challenge after being endorsed by Mr. Biden.

Reuters news agency quoted sources as saying that all Democratic Party chairmen in 50 states have supported Ms. Harris to become the party's new candidate.
