Biden bombshell to echo across Capitol Hill as lawmakers return

President Biden’s announcement that he will no longer seek re-election to the White House is set to reverberate across Capitol Hill this week, as lawmakers return to Washington amid a new political environment and an unsettled presidential race.

The news — which shook the U.S., especially Washington — is already rocking the Democratic Party, with some lawmakers racing to endorse Vice President Harris as the nominee, which Biden did immediately after his announcement, and others are pushing for an open process.
