Biden has endorsed his Vice-President Kamala Harris to succeed him as the Democratic candidate.
The announcement caps a tumultuous period in US politics, which began with his sometimes incoherent debate performance against Donald Trump on 27 June. Mr Biden says he will remain president until January.
The Americast and Newscast teams have come together to talk about what's happened and what it could all mean for the US election.

Using the fact that she would be President if Biden passed away in office was always a silly argument against reelecting Biden. Kamala becoming President was voted on when she ran as VP the first time.

Is this really a legitimate BBC show? The host got zero objectivity, he can’t be a real journalist…
-
GSD Shapiro? Yes, absolutely. Anyone VP Harris chooses, I am sure he or she will be of the highest character and intellect.

It is a shame we can’t have a real conversation on the democratic candidates. What’s the point in saying we’re gonna pick someone when all that’s done the last 8 years is just ring kissing…
-
The candidate should be nominated by people.
-
We support VP Harris’ run for democracy and to push back authoritarianism. We love Joe Biden but he deserves to rest. We have a strong pro democracy team and we will continue to fight for America and democracies around the world

Does he even know who she is? I bet he doesn’t since he claimed trump is his vp.

Imagine him endorsing Trump..

What's with the cynical tone of the hosts? I wasn't aware the BBC was so right leaning that is stripped out of a balanced view?

Man decenty comes up the stage and dignifiedly leaves the stage. Actually it's the very time for the aged to take a regular walk with his loving family and dogs, relax, meditate, contemplate, loading off life-long duties from his shoulder. Wishing from Burma him and his wife, along with his loved ones, to enjoy more serene anniversaries, fulfilling meritorious deeds daily in good health & longevity!
