Biden steps down as candidate from US presidential race

In a stunning turn of events, US President Joe Biden has made a historic announcement by withdrawing from the 2024 election, citing mounting pressure over his mental and physical state. In a move that has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, Biden has thrown his full support and endorsement behind Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party's nominee for the upcoming elections. The President expressed his unwavering endorsement for Harris in a bold proclamation on social media, formerly known as Twitter, immediately after revealing his decision to step down from the race.

Declaring his refusal to accept the nomination and emphasizing his commitment to channel all his efforts into his presidential responsibilities, Biden underscored his belief that selecting Harris as his Vice President was one of the most pivotal decisions of his tenure. "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," Biden's message resonated with an air of unity and determination.

Preceding his endorsement of Harris, Biden issued an open letter to formally communicate his withdrawal from the presidential race. "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," he articulated, assuring the nation of an impending address to expound on this pivotal decision.

Meanwhile, former US President and the Republican Party’s nominee, Donald Trump, wasted no time in seizing the opportunity to comment on the unexpected exit of his potential rival. Trump lambasted Biden as the "worst president ever,” capitalizing on the moment to emphasize his approval of Harris's endorsement, hinting that overcoming her candidacy "will be easier than Biden."

The political arena has been thrown into disarray by these unprecedented developments, setting the stage for a momentous electoral showdown. With Biden's departure redefining the trajectory of the 2024 elections, all eyes are now on Kamala Harris as she steps into the spotlight as the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee, poised to confront the formidable challenge posed by Donald Trump and the Republican Party. As the nation grapples with the repercussions of this seismic shift, the stage is set for a high-stakes battle that will shape the future of American politics.
