President Biden has stated that the American people will decide who will be the next president as the Democratic Party moves to coronate Vice President Kamala Harris as the frontrunner for the 2024 election.
President Biden has expressed his belief that the American people will have the ultimate say in who becomes the next president, despite the Democratic Party's apparent support for Vice President Kamala Harris as the presumptive frontrunner. Biden's comments come amidst a flurry of speculation and media reports suggesting that the party is coalescing around Harris as the heir apparent.
However, Biden has emphasized that the decision will be left to the voters. "The American people are going to make the decision about who they want to lead this country," Biden said. "That's what democracy is all about."

Biden's remarks align with his previous statements that he intends to run for reelection in 2024. However, his advancing age and declining approval ratings have raised questions about his viability as a candidate.
The Democratic Party's support for Harris is seen by some analysts as a strategic move to secure the party's base and attract moderate voters. Harris's record as a prosecutor and her work on criminal justice reform appeal to many African American voters, a key Democratic constituency.

Harris has also been a vocal critic of President Trump, which could help mobilize anti-Trump voters in the 2024 election. However, some Democrats have expressed concerns about Harris's ability to connect with swing voters and her tendency to make gaffes.
Despite the Democratic Party's apparent support for Harris, other potential candidates may emerge in the coming months. Former President Donald Trump has hinted at a possible return to politics, and several other Democratic politicians, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Gov. Gavin Newsom, have been mentioned as potential challengers to Biden or Harris.

Ultimately, the decision of who will be the next president will be made by the American people. Biden's comments suggest that he is willing to face a challenge from within his own party if he decides to run for reelection. Harris is a formidable candidate, but she will face scrutiny and opposition from her rivals. The 2024 presidential election promises to be a competitive and closely watched race.
