With Harris, 59, as the strongest opponent of Trump, Biden quickly supported her in the run-up to the Democratic National Convention (DNC), which is scheduled for Chicago, Illinois, from August 19 to 22. Haley actively opposed Trump during the GOP primary and did not provide her endorsement to him, even after she withdrew from the race in the first part of March.She did, however, proclaim in May that she would back him. She urged Republicans to remain unified during her speech at the Republican National Convention last week, saying that for the sake of our nation, we have to go with Donald Trump. Biden plans to stay in the role until noon at the conclusion of his current term, which ends on January 20, 2025.
