Harris did not specifically refer to his new status as the main presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, after Biden on Sunday, July 21, announced his resignation under growing pressure from fellow Democratic Party members.

Harris said in a post on X he would visit Biden's campaign headquarters in Delaware now Harris' campaign headquarters on Monday afternoon. He said Biden, who tested positive for COVID-19 last week, was already in better condition.
