US President Joe Biden has announced his withdrawal from the presidential race, citing the decision as being in the best interests of the Democratic Party and the country. He confirmed that he will continue to serve out his current term as president.
Speculation surrounds Biden’s decision, with reports suggesting it may be influenced by health concerns and increasing pressure from within his own party. Prominent Democratic leaders, including former President Barack Obama, have voiced concerns about Biden’s candidacy. Senior party figures, such as Nancy Pelosi, reportedly urged Biden to step down, expressing fears that his continued candidacy could jeopardize the Democrats’ chances and potentially lead to a loss of control in the legislature.
Additionally, California Democratic Representative Adam Schiff advised Biden to withdraw, arguing that defeating Trump would be unfeasible under the current circumstances. In light of these developments, Biden has ultimately decided to withdraw from the race.
