拜登退选，副总统哈里斯能顺利接棒吗？外媒点评（朗读版）｜E0723

▍原文
President Joe Biden announced he is dropping out of the presidential race — a historic decision that throws the 2024 election into upheaval.

The extraordinary move will send shockwaves through the Democratic Party, triggering a frenzied effort to replace him just weeks before the party’s nominating convention. 

The president's endorsement of Harris for Kamala is likely to shut down any serious competition, clearing the path for the vice president to be the 2024 Democratic candidate.
