WASHINGTON, D.C. — Democrats were in uncharted territory Monday as they raced against the clock to find a new standard-bearer after President Joe Biden's stunning late exit from the 2024 race for the White House.

Vice President Kamala Harris was in pole position as the party promised a 'transparent and orderly process' to replace the 81-year-old Biden, who bowed Sunday to Democratic concerns over his age and capacity to beat Republican Donald Trump in November.
