Amid mounting pressure, President Joe Biden has announced he is withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race as the presumptive Democratic party nominee. In the process, he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,\u201d Biden wrote in a letter posted to his X account<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He went on to share that he is supporting Harris. \u201cToday I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year,\u201d he said in a follow-up post on X<\/a>. \u201cDemocrats \u2014 it\u2019s time to come together and beat Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harris is not just an advocate of legalized unrestricted induced abortion \u2014 the direct and intentional killing of preborn children. She gained a reputation, as both the Attorney General of California and as the U.S. Senator for the state, as a staunch opponent of both pregnancy help centers and pro-lifers who attempted to expose information about potentially illegal activity perpetrated by the abortion industry. And as vice president, she went on a nationwide abortion tour<\/a> in an effort to prove that access to abortion is her top priority.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is nobody who has fought as hard for abortion rights and access, and we are proud to endorse her in this race,\u201d Reproductive Freedom for All President and CEO Mini Timmaraju said<\/a> in a statement shortly after Biden dropped out of the race.<\/p>\n

\n

As California AG, Kamala Harris persecuted pregnancy resource centers and pro-life journalists David Daleiden and Sandra Merrit.<\/p>\n

As VP, she\u2019s continued her crusade against pro-life Americans & the preborn.<\/p>\n

A Harris presidency would be disastrous for human rights.<\/p>\n
