US President Joe Biden has ended his re-election campaign after his fellow Democrats lost faith in his mental acuity and ability to beat Donald Trump, leaving the presidential race as an unknown. There are several names being considered to enter the race, including that of Michelle Obama, although the main one is that of Kamala Harris, who received Biden’s endorsement.
Biden, in a post on X, said he will remain in office until his term ends in January 2025 and will address the country this week. The announcement follows a wave of public and private pressure from Democratic lawmakers and party officials for him to drop out of the race after his surprisingly poor performance in a televised debate last month against Republican rival Donald Trump.
“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while my intention has been to seek re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to step down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” Biden wrote.
