Biden Watches Election Night from White House as Harris Takes Center Stage

President Joe Biden stepped back from the 2024 race, supporting Kamala Harris while observing the election results privately.

Joe Biden, originally the presumptive Democratic nominee, withdrew from the race in July, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.
Biden spent election night at the White House with family and advisers, making calls to key Democratic figures but avoiding public appearances.
His withdrawal followed a poor debate performance and pressure from party leaders, citing age and health concerns.
Biden's influence persisted as his campaign infrastructure transitioned to support Harris, with key aides continuing to collaborate closely.
Despite stepping back, Biden remains engaged, focusing on completing his presidential duties and planning his post-presidency.
