President Biden Drops Out of Presidential Race
Landmark Decision Marks Shift in Political Landscape
Biden First President to Withdraw Since 1968
In a groundbreaking move, President Joe Biden has announced his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. This decision, made public on July 21, marks the first time a sitting president has dropped out of running for reelection since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968.
Biden's announcement came amid increasing pressure from congressional Democrats, including Senator Joe Manchin, who had called for him to step aside. The President had faced criticism over his handling of the economy, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ongoing war in Ukraine.
With Biden's exit, the race for the presidency has been thrown into turmoil. The former President swiftly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement, paving the way for a historic Democratic candidate.
