Former President Barack Obama has also endorsed Vice President Harris.
Vice President Kamala Harris wrapped up what has been a whirlwind week in the presidential race with her campaign saying Sunday it has raised more than $200 million in less than a week.
On Thursday night, Harris met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and took the lead in addressing the public about their discussions.
Harris has secured commitments from enough delegates to become the presumptive nominee if they all honor their commitment when voting, according to ABC News reporting.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries responded to Biden's speech in a statement on X saying the president "has run a great race and left our country a better place."
"He passed the torch to all of us. It is now our responsibility to save American democracy," he said.

The president looked back at his accomplishments in office noting that the country was still reeling from the pandemic and bounced back.
He cited the 12 million new jobs created, increasing wages and declining inflation.
"We're literally rebuilding our entire nation, urban, suburban, rural, [and] tribal communities," he said.
Near the end of his speech, Biden turned personal as he recalled his roots and long career in public service.
"My fellow Americans, it has been the privilege of my life to serve this nation for over 50 years," he said. "Nowhere else on Earth could a kid with a stutter from modest beginnings of Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Claymont, Delaware, one day sit behind the Resolute desk in the Oval Office as president of the United States but here I am."
"I give my heart and my soul to my nation, like so many others, but I'm blessed a million times in return for the love and support of the American people," he said. "I hope you have some idea how grateful I am to all of you."
The president touted Harris's work and encouraged Americans to look at her record during the election.
"Vice president Kamala Harris experienced. She's tough, she's capable she's been an incredible partner to me and a leader for our country. now the choice is up to you," he said.
