Biden was the only Democrat candidate for president of the United States after Bernie Sanders dropped out of the race.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday supported former Vice President Joseph Biden in the fight for nomination of a candidate from the Democratic Party in the presidential election.
In an online broadcast on Biden’s campaign site, Clinton admitted that she was happy to “not just support Biden’s candidacy,” but to “help him cover the many topics to be raised in this presidential election.
“Joe Biden has spent his whole life preparing for this moment”, – Clinton stressed. – “I have had the privilege of working with him for the past 25 years.”
In 2008, Clinton fought for the nomination of a candidate from the Democrats in the presidential election, but lost on the results of the primaries to Barack Obama (was president from 2009 to 2017), in the administration of which she headed the Foreign Ministry from 2009 to 2013. In 2016, the Congress of the Democratic Party of the United States of America approved her as its presidential candidate in the elections, which were held on November 8 that year, but Clinton lost to the Republican candidate Donald Trump.
On April 14, Obama for the first time officially supported Biden, who held the post of Vice President in his administration for all eight years.
Biden remained the only Democrat candidate for the US presidency after Vermont State Senator Bernie Sanders withdrew on April 8. The National Congress of the Democratic Party of the USA, at which Biden is expected to be named as a candidate for the highest state post in the country, is scheduled for the middle of August in Milwaukee (Wisconsin). Presidential elections in the USA are scheduled for November 3.
