2024 campaign for President, and suspending of campaign

Several times during the first debate against former President Donald Trump on June 27, 2024, President Biden paused, misspoke, and spoke with a soft, raspy voice. Largely because of the debate, and due to concerns over Biden's age, Trump's lead in polls of likely voters grew against Biden. Following the polling, several members of Biden's Democratic party urged Biden to suspend his re-election campaign.
President Joe Biden officially ended his re-election campaign on July 21, 2024 and threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris became the official nominee for President of the United States on August 19, 2024. This made her the first black and the first West Asian American woman to be nominated for President by a major party in the United States.
