Sputnik International WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The leaders of the Democratic party, including former President Barack Obama and the current leaders in Congress, are remaining silent and pointedly refusing to support Vice President Kamala Harris, whom President Joe Biden announced as his successor on Sunday after withdrawing from the 2024 presidential election.
Biden’s announcement came amid pressure by leading Democrats and donors to do so but left them with only a few weeks to the party’s convention in Chicago next month, either to rally around Harris or produce alternate candidates to her in record time.
The two most recent examples in modern US history of a sitting president announcing he would not be seeking reelection to a second term were Harry Truman in 1952 and Lyndon Johnson in 1968.
