Vice President Kamala Harris formally declared her candidacy for president, acquiring President Joe Biden's $96 million campaign fund. Biden dropped out of the November race against Trump following internal pressure.
Democratic lawmakers urged Biden to withdraw after a poor debate performance and decreasing polls. Harris transitioned from the 2024 vice-presidential to the presidential race, amending her campaign filings accordingly.
After Biden's announcement, he endorsed Harris as his Democratic presidential successor. High-level Democratic donors, previously withholding funds, are now returning to support Harris's campaign.
Biden's decision to step aside allowed Harris to switch from the 2024 vice-presidential campaign to the presidential race, leading to support from donors who had withdrawn funds.
