American President Joe Biden has announced that after much speculation he will be dropping out of the 2024 presidential race against the Republican nominee Donald Trump.
It follows weeks of intense pressure from fellow Democrats after a faltering debate performance against Republican Donald Trump at the end of June.
In a statement posted on all of his socials, Biden said “And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling the duties as President for the remainder of my term”.
He also stated that it had been the greatest honour of his life to serve as president and that his partner in crime Vice-President Kamala Harris was an “extraordinary partner”.
It has not been yet announced who will become the Democratic nominee or how that person will be selected, however all current signs shows that the most likely candidate will be Vice-President Kamala Harris, with Joe Biden even endorsing her to be the nominee.
