12:00 pm
the, the, this is the, the news life from berlin, joe biden drops out of the us presidential race, the to one year old bowers to pressure from his own party. i meant concerns over his cage and meant to fix this democrats. i hate him, joe biden. the position as selfless and future objects. fighting and leading democrats or throwing support behind vice president campbell of hers does she have what it takes to beach donald trump for now has to adapt to a new elect, total landscape. and with us politics in flux, israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu heads to washington where he's due to speak, therefore the us congress, the
12:01 pm
british manager, welcome joe biden has pulled out of the us presidential res, bothering 2 weeks of pressure over his age and health. the to one year old said he was came during his re election bathing the best interest of his policy and the country. he announced a position in a letter released on sunday, where he said he plans to focus on his duties as president for the remainder of his dom biden has not in dollars twice president coming to hers as the democratic policies new nominate to run against donald trump. in november's election, pressure on president biden had been hunting for weeks. d, w 's us corresponding general do milan explain what changed on sunday afternoon? bearish just to highlight again. barton's withdrawal from this race comes after me
12:02 pm
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 offer to improve a diagnosis and that's just the selection. now, through all those events, jo biden's will to remain in the re seemed 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 a decision. campbell, a 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 denver pratt calling on
12:03 pm
him to step down party leaders telling him that he cannot possibly win donors turning off the tops, 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 headers is house election as the faulty nominee. now, inevitable, as i just said, very so there's no such thing as an adverb ability, but if it's not inevitable, then it is least likely. so we have seen democrat,
12:04 pm
after democrats come out to endorse and cumberland 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 announcing 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, but so far several delegations have already thrown their support behind camera harris. so you have the delegations from tennessee, from florida, from north carolina, south carolina, and new hampshire. she needs 1968 delegates in order to
12:05 pm
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 high potential faithful uh, 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. they're talking about josh shapiro from pennsylvania. so what's notable about this list perish 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, michigan governor gretchen whitmore. but she's, she's,
12:06 pm
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 wall states, of course being michigan of pennsylvania and wisconsin. and that was the one on speak to me earlier from washington dc. jo biden's run for re election was thrown into disarray late last month, off at a dismal debate performance against donald trump. it was supposed to reinvigorate biden's campaign. instead, it opened the floodgates of doubts or what his ability to win in november or sub another 4 year term as president 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
12:07 pm
eligible for what i have been able to do with the, with the coven, i should be with dealing with everything we have to do with a more if to finally be medicare. therefore hesitate, joe biden called for an early one on one tv debate with donald trump. to dispel concerns about his age, we get to totally don't was a plan that backfired spectacularly the total an issue, as viewers watched bite and struggle with his answers and more side of questions about biden's fitness had doctors 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 this campaign and press
12:08 pm
team start to don't play 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 devote out a letter he said to democrat lawmakers, failed to alleviate worries. pressure grew as high ranking democrats and donors publicly expressed reservations, including former house speaker, nancy, but most many praise bindings achievements which include major infrastructure spending and restoring transatlantic partnerships. while at the same time concluding that biden was no longer up to the job of stopping a 2nd to trump presidency. meanwhile, the valley, those are paying tribute to joe biden,
12:09 pm
many expressing support and respect for his decision to step aside german jobs. the olaf sold saying, and i called my friend joe biden has a chief deluxe for his country for europe, for the world. thanks to him. crohn's atlantic corporation is close nato a strong and the usa is a good and reliable partner for us. is decision not to run again, deserves respect, encore and germany's foreign minister and a bad book echoed those sentiments as i'm eating in brussels. kept close to the specs for the inside on. i have a great respect for the president's decision items that joe biden is putting his country's interest above his own, and he has done an incredible job for grants. atlantic relations during his term. as president law pc cooperation is perhaps stronger now than it has ever been by the sites who intends effect the need to for the date of the particular car is funded to lots identities following political reactions. here in germany,
12:10 pm
june up the reactions from the john's law and the foreign minister, do they sum up the general mood yet in germany? yes, they are pretty much new. we've heard from like them from members of the german government who says they have worked really well with their counterparts and jo biden's, governments in the usa that they have been full of praise and respect. not only for the decision by joe biden to now withdraw his candidacy, but also with how he governed his country and how he brought forward the transatlantic relationship. we've also heard not only from members of the german government, but also from the head of the main conservative opposition party, the seed you mats. and he said that he also really respects joe by his decision a joe biden, who served his country, the american people for 5 decades, where there are some exceptions across the german political spectrum. for example,
12:11 pm
the far right as the party, many of their leading members have criticized and even pretty much mocked president joe biden, because of how he has withdrawn. and what that might mean for a re election of a donald trump. but over all the mood in germany is of praise and of paying respect to joe biden. what difference would it make for germany who sits in the white house as well? the important difference would be not necessarily between who uh, from the democratic party might now be the new candidates and might to possibly win the presidency. the, the position is that the person be it come on harris or somebody else would probably continue along the lines of jo biden's presidency. the big question is, will it be donald trump, or will it be a democratic candidates? there? a lot of concerns in germany and these concerns have been mounting over the past few months about a possible new trump presidency. if we think back to his previous presidency,
12:12 pm
the relationships with germany had really soured. the transatlantic relationship had not collapse, but it was really on ice. trump was constantly criticizing europe, germany, and also specifically the german chancellor at the time famously on the mac and their relationship was an a tourist lee not good. and the concern is that a new trump presidency with a more isolation is to west with an america 1st usa would further damage or again, bring the relationships to a difficult situation. in particular, the possibility of a trump presidency cutting or significantly reducing support for ukraine would be a big issue for europe in germany. and so there was a bit of a sigh of relief thinking that possibly another democratic candidate might have a stronger chance of winning the presidency and not having donald trump become president. again. the new political correspondent, judas of delhi. thanks very much for that. and there's also, i mean,
12:13 pm
praise for the gibbons of vitamins presidency and his legacy for us, for the invitations he has the, the blues, charlie, all the, with the reaction from india as india, as boston to stick with the us bloomed under the president ship of joe biden, to go to america as partnerships with india, amongst a most consequential in the was. and that was reinforced by the red carpet combined and gave to the engine finding a movie during his stay to visit us la steele. while the southern announcement by biting has come as a surprise, it is left to a lot of anticipation in india focus as quickly move to vice president. coming on. how does this indian do i? she's the highest ranking indian american in the us history, as well as the 1st female and black vice president as dual by didn't endorse to a democratic party presidential nominee excitement is building up 8000 miles away from washington and hold on such a village in southern india back in 2021. the entire village is going to send to put them in. rockford, enjoy and celebrated. you know,
12:14 pm
the reason is vice president with fire crackers and marches on the street vice president coming as mcdonough. the grandfather was born in this village more than a century ago, and the village of stick, a huge amount of fright in the fact that one of their own is entering so close to the top position in global politics. because the daughter of the village highest was born to an indian mother and a jamaican father would migrate it to the us. so naturally there's already a sense of excitement and the possibility that a woman with indian who is going to be running for the american president ship, also for indians come with us politically, call you as a woman, as a 1st black and indian american candidate is a testament to the achievements of the indian community in america. so there would be high hopes from hole in this part of the wood, if she indeed goes on to become america's next president. date of those salary, all the reporting, the from delhi. now, if it comes to her, as well as the democratic nomination, she'd be the 1st black and south asian woman to top a major parties ticket. as
12:15 pm
a closer look at what she might bring to the campaign. kamala harris has already made history ones. by being the 1st female and the 1st black vice president of the united states, she was in no hurry to get rid of fightin initially holding the line to him after his disastrous debate performance. we believe in our president joe biden, and we believe in what he stands for the soonest to this. others began to push the hood to replace him. if he stepped aside, it's a scenario. few would have predicted just a couple of years ago. the style of her vice presidency was overshadowed by criticism. some said harris was failing to make the most of her role and was being an effective. however, supports his claim. she was being sidelined and held to
12:16 pm
a higher standard because she was a woman on black. yet 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 hard work. don't you 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
12:17 pm
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 to chance to buy a winning the election. so to me now is i'm, well i from a democrats abroad and official arm of the democratic party. so our is a representative from bavaria in southern germany. thanks for joining us today, sir. uh, what is coming to harris's campaign message going to be well, uh, vice president harris is currently the nominated. she's currently only a candidate for the nomination with her public profile. and the endorsement of president biden, she certainly has
12:18 pm
a good shot at it. i can't speculate on what her campaign message will be, but i imagine it will be to support the progress achieved the best far by the current administration and pushing hard for putting progressive values get into practice in the next. do you foresee any opposition to her candidate you um. it's very early days yet. uh we have it's fairly d bench within the democratic party. so it is possible there will be other candidates, but we're going to have to wait and see the best bar. i haven't heard of any. americans appear very divided along a party lines or does she bringing any new voters? i believe she does. the da, germany's banks, there's a huge potential for new voter enthusiasm act blue, which is one of the major donation platforms in the united states where small dollar donors can donate, donate to the democratic candidates,
12:19 pm
received over 20 $7000000.00 in donations yesterday after the announcement that's about 10 times the volume of donations received the previous day when voters opened their wallets. this demonstrates massive enthusiasm of the electorate. we're working hard to ensure valid access to the electron abroad. we urge all us voters abroad to visit vote from abroad dot org to register and request their ballots. the best time to do it is now the republican campaign, a sofa pointed to ha, having been in government with the joe biden, with this association dental chances of getting elected. uh, i don't believe so if anything, i believe it should bolster her chances to win the nomination if she chooses to do so. she has a national profile. she was a faithful tiebreaker in the senate for 2 years supporting the enactment of the administration's agenda. she brings a new perspective to the role of president as potentially the 1st black woman and the 1st asian american. there had certainly been difficulties over the past year
12:20 pm
for the by the ministration. but this is a chance for the candidates to communicate what they would do differently and given her proximity to the decision making. i look forward to her perspective on what should happen next. live at the moment, side of my life from democrats abroad. germany, thanks so much. thank you. of the game of the news is rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu is on his way to washington dc where he will deliver the landmarks page to the united states congress. ahead of the trip financing a whole tank bite and for his contribution to us is friend relations, following the president position to end his re election campaign. he also said is relevant to be the united states, a strongest ally in the middle east, regardless of who is elected in november. that's getting more of this from the, the corresponding di abraham in jerusalem. i up. what more do we know about nathan?
12:21 pm
yeah. who's visit to the us as well? it actually comes, of course, at a turbulent time for us politics, but also at a time where the relationship between these 2 men, by the end it's in y'all, has been frosty for awhile, particularly over a israel's a conduct of the cause a war. and it's incursion on a rough off, we've heard the us be critical of that a and at the same time, uh, benjamin to to know whose government continuing with its plan for the rough off offensive at the same time. because the president has, you know, it chosen to end his presidential campaign. as you just mentioned, the us president. it seems that natania who is trying to strike a a tone of unity and instead of talking about differences highlighting the importance of these real us for leasing, which of course the united states has been despite all of the criticism,
12:22 pm
israel's biggest supporter of during this work and also historically, at the same time, natania who was facing a lot of protests here, we saw that the is really protesters at the airport as he was leaving, calling on him to accept a hostage and you hostage deal that would see the return of the remaining is really hostages held back from us in gaza and to bring an end to the words to a turbulent time, but also a very interesting time given a present biden's announcement. you say it's an interesting time. so where does that uh, uh, biden's withdrawn from the presidential campaign leave the us, and he's really the nation's so i think it's not very likely to make a huge impact on that very historic relationship. i mean, even if by that has been critical of this current is really government's conduct of the we're in the, in the most recent phase of the war biden has been
12:23 pm
a huge supporter of israel by even the admission if it's really policy makers and understand yahoo himself with this morning before departing to the united states and emphasized just how important biden has been for a israel. and so even though there has been sort of disagreements along the way, i think now with announcement to and be campaign both man and both administration despite you know, the all time low status of their relationship are trying to strike a a tone of unity. and we're likely to see that in a missing yahoo address to congress on wednesday that instead of trying to play up the differences. but we're probably going to see a more unified tone in that address. you'd have look at this one and abraham in judaism, thanks. so much of course you have not some other stories making news around the
