Washington and the world are still reeling from President Joe Biden's surprise announcement on Sunday that he is ending his teetering re-election campaign.
But Biden's swift endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him at the top of the Democratic ticket is energizing Democrats and breathing new life into their campaign to defeat former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance.
The "Biden for President" campaign committee has officially been renamed the Harris for President committee, maintaining the Biden team's infrastructure, staff and — crucially — its $98 million in cash reserves.
Democrats excited about a new ticket have donated tens of millions of dollars online to the Harris for President campaign.
