Joe Biden has officially dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, after a disastrous 25 days which has seen him facing intense pressure after a poor debate showing against Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Biden officially announced he was dropping out of the race via a tweet shortly before 6am this morning. 

He followed the announcement with another tweet endorsing his Vice President Kamala Harris as the next Democratic nominee.

US Correspondent Dan Mitchinson joined Nick Mills to talk through what this means for the election, and whether Harris is likely to be challenged by another candidate.
