Joe Biden updates his social media profile.
President Joe Biden made a significant update to his social media account recently, showing his full support for Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic nominee in the upcoming election. This move comes after Biden endorsed Harris on Sunday, calling for her to take over his position.
The President’s X account, formerly known as Twitter, now proudly displays a new header that reads “HARRIS for PRESIDENT.” The header includes a link to a donation portal for those who wish to contribute to Harris’s campaign. On the other hand, Biden’s Facebook page still shows a header supporting the Biden-Harris ticket and stating, “Together, we can finish the job!”
Following mounting pressure from Democrats expressing doubts about his ability to defeat former President Donald Trump, Biden decided to step aside. This decision came after his lackluster performance at the June 27 presidential debate, which raised concerns within his party.
Shortly after Biden’s announcement, the official @BidenHQ campaign account also underwent a transformation, changing its name to @KamalaHQ, in a clear display of support for Harris’s candidacy. Biden expressed his confidence in Harris, stating, “My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.”
The impact of Biden’s endorsement was immediately felt in the fundraising arena, with ActBlue, a prominent Democratic fundraising platform, reporting a significant surge in donations following the announcement of the Harris campaign. According to ActBlue, Sunday marked the “biggest fundraising day of the 2024 cycle,” with nearly $50 million raised by 9 p.m. EDT.
With Biden’s explicit backing and the impressive fundraising support for Harris, it is evident that the Democratic Party is gearing up for a dynamic and competitive race in the upcoming election. The unity and enthusiasm displayed within the party signal a strong determination to challenge and defeat the incumbent President, Donald Trump.
As the spotlight now shifts to Vice President Kamala Harris, all eyes will be on her as she steps up to the challenge of leading the Democratic Party in this critical moment. With the unwavering support of President Biden and the party behind her, Harris is poised to make a significant impact on the political landscape and potentially pave the way for a new era of leadership in the United States.
Overall, the recent developments within the Democratic Party underscore the importance of unity, resilience, and strategic decision-making in the pursuit of a common goal. With Biden’s endorsement of Harris, the stage is set for an exciting and closely-watched electoral contest that will undoubtedly shape the future of American politics for years to come.
