President Joe Biden announced, Sunday, that he’s ended his bid for reelection and is now endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. The decision comes amid pressure from Democratic allies and Biden’s poor performance in the June 27 debate against former President and GOP Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
