Joe Biden Drops Out Of US Presidential Race

Posted on July 21, 2024

President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, has ended his reelection campaign.

 

The announcement by the oldest sitting President in United States history came amid mounting pressure from his fellow Democrats, with more than 30 Congress members publicly pushing for his exit.

 

Other high-profile figures — including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — were reported to be encouraging Biden to step down behind the scenes.

 

The backlash came after Biden, 81, delivered an unsteady performance at the first presidential debate of the 2024 election season as he lost his train of thought and struggled to articulate basic talking points.

The 46th US president’s departure from the race leaves the Democratic Party in an unprecedented situation, with only a month until the Democratic National Convention and less than four months until the November 5 election.

 

Whoever replaces Biden will face Republican presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump.
