Where 3 Democrats who could replace Biden atop the ticket stand on health care

“I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President,” Biden wrote in a statement.

The president endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in a post on X. “Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.”
