the, the, this is the, the news line from berlin, joe biden drops out of the us presidential race the, to one year old bows to the pressure within his own party. off the last months does oscars to very democrats are hating job items, decision as selfless, unpatriotic and bottom, has all the toner support behind vice president. pamela harris, does she have what it takes to beats, donald trump, the is kind of do welcome. joe biden has pulled out of the us presidential race,

bothering 2 weeks of pressure over his age and have vh one year old announced his decision in a letter in east on sunday. he said he was ending his re election bid in the best interest of his biology of the country, and he plans to focus on his duties as president for the remainder of his time. biden has not endorsed vice president campbell. i had it as the democratic parties, you know, many to run against donald trump, united in november's election congress. they don't lose us. corresponding janelle doing on has been following developments and jonathan out from washington dc. janelle, president biden had been defusing to drop out of the presidential race for quite some time. what changed on sunday afternoon? it's bearish just to highlight again. barton's withdrawal from this race comes after weeks of just extra ordinary events . that disastrous debate with donald trump was barely 3 weeks ago after that you

had the supreme court ruling, basically exempting trump for his actions relating to january 6 who had the assassination attempt on trump. and now biden's an opportunity pover diagnosis and that's just the selection. now through all those events, jo biden's will to remain in the received unshakable until of course, on sunday afternoon, we learned that it in fact could be shaken. now apparently he decided on this on saturday and saturday night, and on sunday he decided to go public with the decision. campbell of harris finding out just a few hours before everyone else. but what has essentially happened is that joe biden finally became convinced that he no longer had a pass to victory. this came after days of democrats after democratic calling on him to step down, party leaders telling him that he cannot possibly win donors turning off the top.

so taking away from taking away their money, angry and because they felt that they had been lied to about just how old and frail he was. now essentially, perhaps joe biden took a while to get there, but he did have a look at his poll numbers. realize that this just wasn't tunnel anymore, but in the last days, really, the end of his candidacy had taken on an air of inevitability. there's no such thing as inevitability in this town. but this didn't feel like a situation where the writing was on the wall. so barton eventually gave his endorsements to vice president campbell of hers is her selection as the faulty nominee. now inevitable, as i just saw there. so there is no such thing as an adverb realty, but if it's not inevitable, then it is at least likely. so we have seen democrat,

after democrats come out to endorse in combat harris, there's been a search in donations one political action committee ad blue said that it's all the already raised $46700000.00 in the hours of following jo biden's withdrawal powers in her statement, analysing her candidacy for president, said that she was prepared to earn the nomination, and when meaning that she herself did not take it for granted, that the nomination was hers. she needs to be able to secure delegates just because joe biden endorsed her. doesn't mean he just gets to hand the delegates tour. let's so far, several delegations have already thrown their support behind camera harris. you have the delegations from tennessee, from florida, from north carolina, south carolina, and new hampshire. she needs 1968 delegates in order to

secure the nomination. and as of now purest, it does look like that to that could be a realistic prospect, as of now, which means the country circulating. then as a potential big for the vice presidential a position as well. there are quite a few names on, on that roster. people for example, are talking about a n d this year. he's the governor of kentucky. 3rd, talking about josh shapiro from pennsylvania. so what's notable about this loose garage is that they, are they mostly seem to be composed of a white man. now there is obviously a, there's obviously a talented bench of, of democratic women in the party. for example, the michigan governor um, gretchen whitmore. but she's, she's, she seems to be less considered for this role than the other white man. make of

that what you will button josh shapiro seems to be in special focus this time around because he's the governor of pennsylvania. he's popular and he's considered he is from one of the most win states, one of those blue wall states that they are trying to preserve in this election, those blue law states, of course being michigan of pennsylvania and wisconsin. and he's of course, uh promised to also do quote everything i can to help elect the camera ahead us as a for example, the president of the united states. but where does a harris out all the how does, how does entering the presidential res, effect donald trump's campaign strategy? you know, that's a really good question and full on immigration. so on the border and immigration was a small part of harris's portfolio, was vp, she was in charge of researching root causes of migration into the southern border

. so this is probably going to be a point that trump attacks for on and of course. so, but i think the other thing that i will say is that harris is the 1st woman of color to be potentially nominated, as uh, as the democratic candidate for president. so i would not be surprised if a certain amount of massage needed and racism did play into the trump campaign. we don't know how overt, perhaps it might not even happen, but i would not be surprised if it did really with their for the moment. and i have them alone in washington dc. thanks so much. so now there was talking about the donald trump campaign. let's just have a closer look at the what donald trump has said to biden's decision to withdraw from the raise. he says, and i quote, biden was not fit to run for president, and it's certainly not fit to serve and never was all those around him,

including his doctor and the media knew that he wasn't capable of being president. and he wasn't just taking a few steps back, jo biden's candidacy was thrown into these array all sort of faltering debate performance against trumping late june and debate that the supposed to reinvigorate his campaign. inflation has, it was a moment that changed the trajectory of the 2024 presidential campaigns has increased. making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what i've been able to do with the, with the coven, i should be with dealing with everything we have to do with a to work. if we finally b, medicare to for the big joe biden called brent early one on one tv debate with donald trump. to dispel concerns about his age, we get to tony dealt was a plan that backfired spectacularly the total edition,

as viewers watched biden to struggle with his answers in more asylum of questions about biden's fitness had doctor's campaign from the beginning in his public appearances in the us and abroad. the 81 year old appeared increasingly frail. like at last month's g 7 summit in italy, your job in the wake of biden's debate performance about his campaign and press team sought to downplay concerns. a. he had a cold and a bad night. i would not see this as an episode. i would see this is what it was and what we believe it to be, which is it was a bad night. and he did on top of that, he had a cold biden's. every move was closely scrutinized. initially he refused to bow out a letter he said to democrat lawmakers. sales are to alleviate worries.

pressure grew as high ranking democrats and donors publicly expressed reservations, including former house speaker nancy pl. most many praise bindings achievements which include major infrastructure spending and restoring transatlantic partnerships. while at the same time concluding that binding was no longer up to the job of stopping a 2nd to trump the presidency. and now joe biden has officially endorsed as the vice president coming to headers. so with the support of 5 men, a growing number of a fellow democrats coming to hers is now a heavy favorites to win the parties nomination. she's wasted no time in launching her presidential campaign. moving to lock up democratic delegates and we'll back the big donors. kamala harris has already made history wants, by being the 1st female and the 1st black vice president of the united states. she was in no hurry to get rid of fighting,

initially holding the line for him after his disastrous debate performance. we believe in our present jo by them and we believe in what he stands for the soonest of this. oh, this begins to push the hood to replace him. if he stepped aside, it's a scenario fee would have predicted just a couple of years ago. as the still of her vice presidency was overshadowed by criticism. some said hers was failing to make the most of her role and was being and effective however supports his claim. she was being sidelined and held to a higher standard because she was a woman on black. yeah. perhaps on surprisingly for one who managed to become the vice president of the us, she's not the person to back down there going to be many times in your life

where you're going to be told that can't be done. it's never been done before. it's not time, they're not ready for it and then this is the one i love. it's going to be a lot of hardcore don't to listen. i you know, for breakfast some of the front to the also working in a favor. she's already on the ticket and a search would automatically inherit the infrastructure and funds of biden's campaign with tens of millions of dollars. she also has the highest name recognition of all the alternatives. and he's already a player on the global stage. she has become a leading voice on abortion rights, one of the key issues of the campaign and has prioritized finding solutions for the migration crisis of the us as southern border. but most crucial level,

perhaps in the weeks after the debate, i think companies showed harris had a great the chance to buy a winning the election. the close of the question though is, does complet harris have what it takes to beat donald trump in november? yeah, to awesome views from my hometown of oakland, california. i voted for kyla in the beginning that i wanted her to be the nominee. and so now that she is or may will be and i'm not, i'm happy. i feel like people don't know enough about her and need to learn more about her. i think she's going to be a good president. i think it's a great opportunity for harris and the democrats to change policy now and say that now the older and the old guys out, and just policies along with them. i think she has to work to have a bit of a presence a bit more, especially for younger voters. i would have voted for,

you know, a stick if it were running against the truck. so i'll vote for whoever, if it was going to be buying it. but i don't think that covers the choice because i think a lot of the countries will dislike for the shake up in the us presidential race comes less than a month ahead of the democratic party convention in chicago, while campbell, our is now up as most likely to replace joe biden, some i'm calling for the nomination process to be thrown open us president joe biden has withdrawn from the presidential race there now just weeks to go until this is democratic convention where he would have been officially annoying to this is parties. presidential norman, me, the question now is what happens now.
