Biden Endorses Kamala Harris for 2024 Presidential Nomination
President Joe Biden has officially endorsed Kamala Harris as his chosen candidate for the upcoming presidential race. In a statement posted on his official X page, Biden made this announcement on Sunday, shortly after he withdrew from the 2024 presidential election.
Biden explained his decision, stating that he believed stepping aside from the nomination was in the best interest of both his party and the nation. He emphasized his commitment to concentrating fully on his presidential responsibilities for the remainder of his term.
Reflecting on his vice presidential pick, Biden said, “When I first made the decision to select Kamala Harris as my running mate in 2020, it was a choice I believed would strengthen our ticket and our mission. Looking back, it was undoubtedly the right choice.”
He continued by expressing his strong support for Harris, saying, “Today, I am proud to endorse Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for President. As we face the upcoming election, it’s crucial for Democrats to unite and work together to secure a victory. Our focus must be on defeating Donald Trump and advancing the values we stand for.”
Biden’s endorsement underscores his confidence in Harris’s ability to lead and his commitment to rallying the party behind her candidacy.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
