Highlights from President Biden's first TV interview since exiting the 2024 race

While President Biden is no longer at the top of the Democratic ticket, he told "CBS Sunday Morning" this week that he chose to leave the 2024 race for the same reason he sought the presidency four years ago — to maintain democracy and to defeat former President Donald Trump.

In his first sit-down interview since exiting the 2024 race, Mr. Biden explained to CBS News chief election & campaign correspondent Robert Costa his historic decision to end his reelection bid and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris; his priorities before the end of his term; and why Americans, and democracy itself, are at "an inflection point in world history." 

Here are some highlights from Mr. Biden's interview.
