Embattled Joe Biden Drops Out of US Presidential Election Race, Endorses Kamala Harris

The race for the White House took an unexpected turn on Saturday as President Joe Biden announced his decision to drop out of the US presidential election. The 81-year-old leader cited the best interest of his party and the country as the reason behind his shocking withdrawal from the race.

In a heartfelt message posted on social media, Biden expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve as President and Commander-in-Chief, stating that he will now focus solely on fulfilling his duties for the remainder of his term. His decision to step down comes after mounting pressure from Democrat allies, including former President Barack Obama.

However, in a surprising move, Biden extended his support to Vice President Kamala Harris to run at the top of the ticket. If accepted, Harris would be the first Indian-origin Black woman to run as a US presidential candidate in history. Biden urged Democrats to come together and support Harris in their quest to defeat Republican candidate Donald Trump in the upcoming election.

Biden’s announcement comes just four months before Americans are set to go to the polls on November 5. His decision to exit the race follows criticism of his performance in a recent presidential debate against Trump, with both Democratic lawmakers and party officials voicing concerns about his ability to secure a victory in the election.

Reacting to Biden’s withdrawal, Trump told CNN that he believes Harris will be easier to defeat in November’s election than Biden. With the presidential race now thrown into disarray, the political landscape is sure to see some major shifts in the coming weeks as the race for the White House heats up.
