United States of America Vice President Kamala Harris has been endorsed by President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee after withdrawing from the Presidential election race.

Biden says it is in the best interest of his party and the country.

It comes four months before Americans go to the polls, upending the race for the White House.

It follows weeks of intense pressure from fellow Democrats after a faltering debate performance against Republican Donald Trump at the end of June.

Following the announcement, President Biden gave his endorsement in the presidential race to Harris.

In a letter posted to his social media account, he said it had been the greatest honour of his life to serve as president.
