The nomination of Kamala Harris in Chicago on Thursday to be the Democratic Party's standard-bearer in the November presidential election will cap one of the wildest months in US political history.
At 1:46 pm on July 21, President Joe Biden upended the White House race with a post on X saying he would not seek reelection.
The 81-year-old Biden bowed to growing pressure from party leaders to step aside following his disastrous debate performance against Republican candidate Donald Trump in late June.
Biden's announcement, while not completely unforeseen amid mounting concerns about his age and mental fitness, sent shockwaves through a country still reeling from the attempted assassination of Trump one week earlier.
