On Biden, Trump, Harris and the race for the White House
Peter Barry writes: President Biden has done the right thing and withdrawn his candidacy, much to the relief of those around the world supporting democracy. It would be best if everyone rallied around Kamala Harris as time is too short to play any nomination games.
Harris is young, dynamic and fairly quick on her feet. She is likely to grow into the role, with Biden still able to offer useful insights over the coming months. The image of a dynamic, decent young woman in contrast to the rapidly aging, blustering, vindictive Trump can only help the Democrats.
