Kamala Harris Thrust Into Spotlight As Biden Bows Out

File photo - USA Vice President Kamala Harris speaks during a Fourth of July celebration on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, DC, USA, on Thursday, July 4, 2024.

President Biden announced he was suspending his re-election campaign and putting his faith in Harris. Within hours, the vice-president confirmed her own bid for the White House. “I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic party, and unite our nation, to defeat Donald Trump,” Harris said. “We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win." Photo by Tierney L. Cross/Pool/ABACAPRESS.COM
