'More a question of when than if': Biden drops out of US presidential race
Joe Biden on Sunday dropped out of the US presidential election, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party's new nominee. FRANCE 24 correspondent Fraser Jackson said that Biden had initially been reluctant to withdraw from the campaign. "What really seems to have been he turning point here is that call from [former House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi where she said that she believed he didn't have a path forward, and that ultimately if he stayed in the race then the Democrats would lose the down-ballot tickets for the House and the Senate as well," he reported from Washington, DC.
