President Joe Biden has announced his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. This decision, made just 107 days before Election Day, marks the first time a sitting president has exited a reelection campaign so close to the election.
The announcement came via a letter posted on social media as President Biden recovered from Covid-19 at his beach house in Delaware. This comes after intense pressure from Democratic leaders, lawmakers, and donors, who expressed concerns about his ability to defeat former President Donald Trump following a challenging debate performance on June 27.
Despite initially vowing to stay in the race, Biden faced mounting evidence from polls and advisers showing an increasingly difficult path to victory. In the last 48 hours, after consulting with his family and closest advisers, he made the difficult decision to step aside, recognizing that his continued candidacy might harm the Democratic Party’s chances in the upcoming election.
“I am deeply committed to the future of our nation and the Democratic Party,” President Biden stated. “After careful consideration and discussions with my family and team, I believe stepping aside is the best course of action. I fully support Vice President Kamala Harris as our nominee and have complete confidence in her ability to lead our country.”
Vice President Harris, who has been a steadfast partner to President Biden, expressed her gratitude for his support and her readiness to take on the challenge. “I am honored to accept President Biden’s endorsement and will work tirelessly to unite our party and country,” Harris said.
This decision aims to quickly unify the Democratic Party and refocus efforts on winning the upcoming election. President Biden’s withdrawal underscores the challenges of modern politics and his enduring commitment to the Democratic Party and the nation’s future.
