Joe Biden has urged campaign staff to get behind Kamala Harris as he spoke out for the first time since announcing he would not stand in the presidential election.
Mr Biden, who is still recovering from Covid, surprised campaign staff by calling in to an event in Delaware and urged them to “embrace” Ms Harris. The President said he would be “working like hell” to support Ms Harris' campaign, as he warned: “Trump is still a danger.”“I know yesterday's news was surprising and hard for you to hear, but it was the right thing to do,” the President, 81, added.
This has been helped by the fact that a number of Democrats who were considered leadership hopefuls have backed Ms Harris, including California Governor Gavin Newsom and Michigan's Gretchen Whitmer.
