Just now, President Joe Biden has pulled out of the 2024 American presidential race. In a development that sends the contest into uncharted territory, the US president announced that he will no longer be seeking a second term.
In a heartfelt address to his fellow Democrats, Biden said, “My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. 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. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.”
This endorsement solidifies Harris's position as the leading candidate for the Democratic Party, setting the stage for a historic and highly anticipated election. Biden's decision comes amid months of speculation about his potential run for re-election and growing concerns within the party about his age and fitness for another term.
Harris, who has served as Vice President since 2021, has been a prominent figure in the Biden administration, playing key roles in various initiatives and policies. Her potential nomination marks a significant moment in American politics, with the possibility of her becoming the first female president of the United States.
Instead, another Democrat will now need to be chosen to face off against Republican nominee Donald Trump in November in a race that has already been marked by tension, division, and an assassination attempt.
Biden's endorsement aims to unify the party and energize the Democratic base as they prepare for a critical electoral battle against former President Donald Trump, who remains a dominant force in Republican politics.
