President Joe Biden announced he is not seeking re-election on Sunday, and provided his endorsement for Vice President Kamala Harris to be the nominee of the Democratic party.

Margaret Susan Thompson, associate professor of history and political science, says she does not expect any other Democrats to challenge Harris.

“I really don’t. I think at this point there has been enough confusion in the Democratic party and I think for the sake, not just for the presidential ticket but the sake of the party,” says Thompson. “They need to unify, unify quickly and show a sign that they are all together on this.”
