Biden exits US presidential race, endorses Vice President Harris
US President Joe Biden has dropped out of the presidential race. He has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic Party's nominee to take on Republican Donald Trump in November.
Biden made the announcements on his X account on Sunday. He says it is "in the best interest" of his party and the country for him to stand down to focus solely on fulfilling his duties as president for the remainder of his term.
The president added that he will speak to the nation later this week in more detail about his decision.
Calls had been growing among Democrats for Biden to quit his campaign after his faltering performance in last month's debate against Trump.
Biden had already acquired more than 90 percent of state delegates in the contest to choose the Democratic candidate.
He was set to become the party's official candidate by giving a nomination acceptance speech at the party's national convention in mid-August.
It is believed that Biden's exit will allow about 4,000 state delegates to vote for a candidate at their own discretion.
This is the first time in 56 years that an incumbent president seeking reelection has dropped out of an election campaign. The last president that did so was Lyndon Johnson in 1968.
Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison says the party will undertake a transparent and orderly process to move forward in the coming days.

Obama reacts to Biden's dropping out of presidential race
Former US President Barack Obama has issued a statement after President Joe Biden announced his intention to drop out of the presidential race.
Obama described Biden as "one of America's most consequential presidents," as well as a dear friend and partner to the former president.
Obama said, "Today, we've also been reminded -- again -- that he's a patriot of the highest order."
He went on with, "I also know Joe has never backed down from a fight."
He added that, "For him to look at the political landscape and decide that he should pass the torch to a new nominee is surely one of the toughest in his life."
He said that the decision is a "testament to Biden's love of country and a historic example of a genuine public servant once again putting the interests of the American people ahead of his own that future generations of leaders will do well to follow."
In his statement, Obama failed to refer to Vice President Kamala Harris. Biden has endorsed her to be the Democratic Party presidential nominee.

Biden's exit from race may impact ceasefire discussions with Netanyahu
Israel's prime minister's office said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet US President Joe Biden on Tuesday in the United States.
But there are concerns that Biden's decision to drop out of the presidential race could have an impact on the discussions on Israel-Hamas ceasefire and hostage release negotiations.
It will be Netanyahu's first visit to the US since the conflict between Israel and the Islamic group Hamas began last year. The announcement by the prime minister's office came just before Biden revealed his decision on Sunday.
Netanyahu is expected to address the US Congress on Wednesday.
Biden has strongly called for a ceasefire in the fighting in Gaza.
He revealed in May a three-phase proposal that includes a six-week ceasefire and release of hostages and urged Hamas to accept it.
Netanyahu has since repeatedly demanded that Israeli forces should be able to resume their operations to eliminate Hamas even after a ceasefire is put in place, and that Israel take control of the border area between Gaza and Egypt.
Hamas is calling for the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza and a permanent ceasefire.
The negotiations have been stalled due to the wide gap between the two sides.

Chinese Communist Party resolution vows to reform sluggish real-estate market
China's Communist Party has disclosed the content of a resolution adopted at its recent key meeting, pledging measures to reform the sluggish real-estate market and prevent local government finances from worsening.
The party released the full text of the resolution on Sunday. It approved the document at the third plenary session of its 20th Central Committee on Thursday after four days of discussions on long-term policy plans.
The resolution entails measures to contend with the sputtering property sector, a concern for the Chinese economy.
They include giving municipal governments greater decision-making powers to regulate the real-estate market. The party will also permit some cities to abolish or reduce restrictions on housing purchases based on local conditions.
Arrangements to improve local public finances include reviewing tax allocations to expand revenue sources for local governments.
Another plan is that the central government will raise the proportion of expenditures it allocates to local governments so they can reduce their own spending.
The resolution also touches on responses to the aging population and declining birthrate. It says the party will work to bring down the costs of childbirth, parenting and education and to refine parental leave policies.
The party also promises to advance reform to gradually raise the statutory retirement age in a prudent and orderly manner.
The party set aside part of the resolution apparently to mention how it will address disputes with the United States and others.
The text says mechanisms for countering foreign sanctions, interference and long-arm jurisdiction will be strengthened.
A communique issued at the end of the meeting sets a goal of completing reforms by 2029, which will mark 80 years since the foundation of the People's Republic of China.

Manila, Beijing cut deal on resupply missions for disputed shoal in S.China Sea
The Philippines and China have reached a deal on a provisional arrangement for troop rotation and resupply missions for a disputed shoal in the South China Sea.
The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs announced the deal for the Second Thomas Shoal on Sunday. The area is claimed by Beijing and Manila but effectively controlled by the Philippines.
The department said both sides agreed the deal "will not prejudice each other's positions" in the South China Sea.
It added that Manila and Beijing continue to recognize the need to de-escalate the situation in the waters and manage differences through dialogue and consultation.
The department has not disclosed any further details of the deal.
China has repeatedly obstructed what it claims are efforts by the Philippines to bring construction material to the shoal for its military outpost.
The Philippines and China agreed to enhance a communication mechanism on the South China Sea during a regular meeting of their senior diplomats in Manila on July 2.
