Former US President Bill Clinton and his wife, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, are backing US President Joe Biden's running mate Kamala Harris as a replacement candidate following her withdrawal from the election campaign. "We are honored to join the President in supporting Vice President Harris, and we will do everything in our power to help her," the Clintons wrote in a statement. Now is the time to support Harris and fight for her election, they said. "America's future depends on it."

The Clintons also paid tribute to Biden. "We join millions of Americans in thanking President Biden for all he has accomplished by standing up for America time and time again," the couple said. Biden had crowned his "extraordinary career" with a presidency "that has lifted America out of an unprecedented pandemic, created millions of new jobs, rebuilt a struggling economy, strengthened our democracy and restored our standing in the world".
