Biden Dropped Out Of the 2024 Presidential Race

Staff Reporter

US President Joe Biden made a surprise announcement on Sunday, revealing that he would be ending his presidential re-election campaign. This decision marks a sudden and humbling conclusion to his remarkable half-century-long political career. With less than four months to go until Election Day, Biden’s withdrawal has sent shockwaves through the race for the White House.

At 81 years old, Biden faced growing concerns within his party about his ability to serve another term due to his age and perceived frailty. Many believed he would struggle to defeat Donald Trump in November. In his announcement, Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him as the Democratic nominee.

In a letter posted on X, Biden explained, “While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.” He promised to address the nation later that week to provide more details about his decision.

Biden praised Harris, saying, “My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President, and it’s been the best decision I’ve made.” He offered his full support and endorsement for Harris to become the party’s nominee this year.

According to sources, Biden and Harris spoke multiple times on Sunday before the president’s announcement. Harris thanked Biden for his leadership and legacy, stating, “I am honored to have the President’s endorsement, and my intention is to earn and win this nomination,” Harris said. “I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party  and unite our nation —to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda,” she said.
