Description
Voters in the Nation's capital and Oregon are reacting to President Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 race and the possibility of his Vice President Kamala Harris stepping in.
Voters see Harris replacing Biden on the ticket as a good choice, but want to know more about her policies.
"She's had four years of experience in the White House to see the execution of the Biden policies has been part of that," said Larry Xe a concerned voter.
"So I think for her to carry the torch makes sense. That would establish continuity or ensure that, whatever programs and policies were started under the existing administration can continue."
Biden announced his decision to withdraw from the race as the Democratic nomination in a public letter on Sunday and endorsed Harris as his successor.
The Democratic Party has been deeply divided since Biden’s poor debate performance on June 27, which left many questioning his ability to defeat Republican Donald Trump in November and secure another term.
Party leaders had increasingly called for Biden to step aside, but his reluctance to bow out left voters nationwide uncertain about who would face Trump in November.
Recent AP-NORC polling revealed that nearly two-thirds of Democrats felt Biden should withdraw from the presidential race, while a majority believe Harris would perform well in the top slot.
"Joe Biden selecting her as vice president. That was a choice as well, too. I feel like people need to get to know her more, said Democratic voter David Brown in Portland, Oregon.
"My biggest thing is making sure that Trump doesn't get in the White House. So I feel like even if she if she was to become the nominee, I'm going to vote regardless."
