Biden officially dropped out of contention for the Democratic nomination over the weekend and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor, who has quickly secured enough Democratic National Committee delegates to become the presumptive Democratic nominee.

The president had been isolating at his vacation home in Delaware this week after a positive COVID-19 test, and has since tested negative for the virus.

Biden has said he will stay in office to finish the remainder of his term through the 2024 election.
