LAS VEGAS — US Vice-President Kamala Harris said on Oct 10 that Joe Biden's decision to drop out of the 2024 election race this summer was "one of the most courageous" any president has made.

"President Biden made a decision that I think history will show was probably one of the most courageous that a president could make, which is he decided to put country above his personal interest," Harris said during the Las Vegas event sponsored by Univision, a Spanish-language television network, according to press pool reporters.

Her remarks were dubbed into Spanish on television.

"I believe that the stakes right now are extraordinarily high, and potentially, some might say, historians have said unprecedented."

The Democratic presidential nominee made the remarks when pressed by a voter who said he was leaning towards Trump and expressed concern about how Mr Biden exited the race.

The voter said he wanted clarity on why Harris became the nominee without going through a competitive primary.
