Biden Drops Out of 2024 Presidential Race
Historic Announcement Marks End of Biden's Tenure
Vice President Harris Prepares to Debate Republican Nominee JD
President Joe Biden has withdrawn from the 2024 presidential race, a historic announcement that ends months of speculation over his plans. Biden's decision follows mounting pressure from Democrats in recent weeks, who had expressed concerns about his age and the party's chances of winning the election.
The announcement came in a written statement on Sunday, where Biden thanked his supporters and outlined his reasons for stepping down. He cited his age as a factor, as well as his belief that the party needed a "new generation of leadership" to take the country forward.
Before Biden's announcement, Vice President Kamala Harris's staff had begun preparing for her debate with Republican vice-presidential nominee JD. It is now unclear if the debate will still take place, as Harris is now the presumptive Democratic nominee.
Biden's withdrawal marks a significant moment in American politics, as he is the first sitting president to drop out of a re-election bid since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968. His decision is likely to have major implications for the 2024 election, as the Democrats will now need to find a new candidate to challenge the Republicans.
