Biden made the consequential decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Harris as his successor.

In his first U.S. sitdown interview since leaving office, Joe Biden said that he was not surprised when Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris and won the 2024 election. “I was very disappointed, but I was not surprised,” Biden told the hosts of ABC’s The View.

"She was part of every success we had," Biden later said of VP Harris, adding that they "argued like hell" in healthy debate over policy during his administration.
