We saw history being made yesterday as a president of the United States eligible for reelection, bowed out of the race just one month before his party's convention.

That begins tonight.

Special coverage of President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race.

The president withdrew as a candidate yesterday by letter less than a month after a poor debate performance that prompted calls for him to leave the race.

The president endorsed vice President Kamala Harris.

She immediately picked up dozens of important endorsements, delegate commitments, and raised $81 million within 24 hours.

The Democrat National Convention in Chicago begins August the 19th.

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign during an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe this morning.

Bashir is said to be on the short list of Harris's potential running mates.

Here was his response when asked if he would consider joining the ticket as the vice presidential candidate alongside Harris.

Let me first say I love my job.

I love serving the people of Kentucky.

And the only way I would consider something other than this current job is if I believed I could further help my people and to help this country.

I also think whether I'm asked for that or not.

But it's important to be out there, you know, contrasting the vice president and those that she is running against.

I believe her record is one of standing up for people, is fighting for the American people.

And the record on the other side is is just fighting for themselves.

So as vice president, you undoubtedly would be able to help your own people.

Are you at least open to the possibility of being a running mate to Vice President Harris?

Well, I think if somebody calls you on that, what you do is is at least listen.

And I want the American people to know what a Kentuckian is and what they look like.

Because let me just tell you that J.D.

Vance ain't from here.

No.

In the the nerves that he has to call the people of Kentucky, of Eastern Kentucky, lazy.

Listen, these are the hard working coal miners that that powered the industrial revolution that created the strongest middle class the world has ever seen that powered us through two world wars.

We should be thanking them, not calling them lazy.

So today was an opportunity to both support the vice president, but also to stand up for for my people.

Nobody calls us names, especially those that have worked hard for the betterment of this country.

Governor Beshear did not say if Harris team had reached out to him about running for vice president.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh SHAPIRO, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly have also been mentioned as vice presidential possibility is.
