In a surprising turn of events, President Joe Biden has announced his decision to end his reelection campaign, setting the stage for Vice President Kamala Harris to secure the Democratic presidential nomination. Sources familiar with the plans have revealed that President Biden will deliver a speech from the White House on Wednesday night to discuss his decision, speaking to the nation in more detail.

President Biden made his decision known to the American public on Sunday through a heartfelt letter, assuring citizens that he would provide further explanation later in the week. Waste no time in endorsing Vice President Harris as his successor, President Biden has likely secured her position as the Democratic presidential nominee.

Vice President Harris, having garnered the support of a majority of the Democratic National Convention delegates, is currently campaigning in the battleground state of Wisconsin. Her presence there indicates the strong likelihood of her securing the presidential nomination next month.

Meanwhile, in a separate development, former President Donald Trump has chosen Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio as his running mate for his potential reelection bid. Senator Vance, who was once a vocal critic of Trump, has since aligned himself closely with the former president, making him a rising star within the Republican Party.

As the 2024 presidential election looms, polls are being closely watched to gauge public sentiment. The Washington Post provides polling averages for seven crucial battleground states, which will play a pivotal role in determining the election outcome. Recent polls have also been conducted to evaluate Vice President Harris' performance against former President Trump.

With voters across all states and U.S. territories currently participating in the process of selecting their party's nominee for the presidency, key dates and events have been outlined on the 2024 election calendar. These milestones will shape the course of the upcoming election and dictate the path to victory for each candidate.

As President Biden's surprising decision rocks the political landscape, all eyes are now on Vice President Harris as she prepares to secure the Democratic presidential nomination and potentially face off against Senator Vance, adding a new layer of intrigue to the upcoming presidential race.
