Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the US presidential race.
The US presidential election will be held on November 5. Former President Donald Trump is running as the Republican candidate. In this context, the Republican National Convention was held on the 19th after the shooting incident on Trump. Donald Trump was announced as the official presidential candidate of the Republican Party.
In this environment, the current President Joe Biden entered the field again as the Democratic Party candidate. Running for president again at the age of 81, Biden continues to face criticism. Biden was too slurred to speak in a live debate with Trump. Similarly, during a press conference, he mistakenly referred to Ukrainian President Zelensky as Putin and US Vice President Kamala Harris as Trump. These incidents caused discontent among the Democrats. And the Democrats said that he has been suffering from occasional ill health and that he should not run because of this.
Meanwhile, even the former president of the Democratic Party, Barack Obama, said that Joe Biden should step down. Joe Biden’s family is also said to have asked him to withdraw from the race. In this situation, President Joe Biden announced today that he is withdrawing from the US presidential election race. As a result, there was anticipation as to who would be the presidential candidate on behalf of the Democratic Party.
In this case, Joe Biden has expressed his support for appointing Kamala Harris as the presidential candidate on behalf of the Democratic Party. On his X website, he said, “My fellow Democrats, please do not accept my candidacy. I have decided to devote all my energy to my duties as president for the remainder of my term.
My first decision as a party candidate in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as vice president. It was the best decision I ever made. I want to give my full support and endorsement to Kamala Harris as our party’s presidential candidate this year. Democrats – it’s time to come together and defeat Trump. Let’s do this,” Joe Biden said.
