United States President Joe Biden has officially dropped out of the race, endorsing current Vice President Kamala Harris to become the Democrats' nominee in the 2024 presidential election.
He had received numerous calls from various people, including multiple senators and dozens of other Democrats, to drop out of the race because of his age, and many have stated that he is not mentally fit enough to serve another term. Biden has been seen stumbling in public several times, but the tide really changed after the first presidential debate against Trump, in which he was seen struggling to find his words, and it was considered a total disaster for Democrats. However, he was set on continuing on, and the public opinion on him soon completely switched from supprting him to agreeing with the senators.
Then, in the middle of Sunday afternoon, he released a letter detailing his resignation and announced that he would no longer be running to become the Democratic nominee, sending the US political world into a frenzy over the election.
He has now endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who is the first-ever African-American, first-ever Asian-American, and first-ever female to become vice president. She will now enter the competition to become the Democratic nominee for the presidential race in November, but there aren't very many prominent competitors. Some of the people who have the popularity needed to run have already endorsed Harris as well, while others have confirmed that they do not want to run. More information will surface in the coming days over possible candidates for the Democratic nominee, but the primary one seems to be Kamala Harris right now. The official candidate will be announced at the Democratic National Convention, which takes place from August 19 to August 22.
