The Democratic National Committee (DNC) revealed its top priority after President Joe Biden announced Sunday he won’t seek reelection for president.

Democratic National Committee chairman Jaime Harrison said in a statement that Democrats will “undertake a transparent and orderly process to move forward as a united Democratic Party with a candidate who can defeat” former President Donald Trump, the Republican Party’s nominee for president, in the November election.
