Washington:

US President Joe Biden urged his supporters on Monday to embrace Vice President Kamala Harris, saying his decision to drop out of the White House race was the "right thing" to have done.

"I want to say to the team, embrace her. She's the best," Biden, phoning in from his beach home, told staff at his campaign headquarters, which has transitioned to supporting Harris.

"I know yesterday's news is surprising and it's hard for you to hear, but it was the right thing to do," he said of his decision to drop out.
