Biden announces withdrawal from the presidential race
US President Joe Biden announced that he is withdrawing from the presidential race. The White House issued a statement to that effect.
I believe it is in the best interests of my party and country if I resign and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.
- it says.
At the same time, the current head of the White House expressed his support for Vice President Kamala Harris, saying that she should become the Democratic Party's presidential candidate this year.
As The New York Times points out, Biden refused to seek re-election for a second term under strong pressure from the Democratic Party.
Donald Trump has already reacted to Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race, calling him "the worst leader in US history." In his opinion, Vice President Kamala Harris will be easier to defeat than Biden.
