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.

Joe Biden has announced his decision to withdraw from the 2024 US Presidential race, citing the best interests of his party and the nation. This move follows mounting pressure from within his own party, particularly after a challenging debate performance against former President Donald Trump in June.

Joe Biden's decision to end his reelection campaign on Sunday followed a series of strategic missteps by his campaign team and White House aides that amplified concerns that the 81-year-old president wouldn't be able to win in November's election, or run the country for another four years. Biden's halting performance at the June 27 presidential debate against Republican candidate Donald Trump, pushed even some of his closest allies to question whether he could endure a full campaign, and added gasoline to a smoldering Democratic party movement questioning the wisdom of his second term. Within days, Biden went from the party's figurehead to a liability. He became the first sitting president to stand down from a possible reelection since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968.

Joe Biden on Sunday announced that he has decided to 'step down' as Democratic Party's Presidential candidate in the forthcoming elections, following his fellow party members losing faith in his mental stability and lack of confidence to beat Donald Trump. «It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And 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 to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,» Biden said in a letter to his countrymen. However, the President has not made it clear yet on who will replace him as Democrats' Presidential face.
