Biden Drops Out of 2024 Presidential Race

The President Announced His Decision on Sunday, July 21

Vice President Harris Expected to Take Over Campaign

President Joe Biden has announced that he will drop out of the 2024 presidential race. The announcement comes after weeks of speculation about Biden's fitness to run for a second term. Biden has been facing criticism for his handling of the economy, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

In a statement released on Sunday, Biden said that he "has decided not to run for a second term as President." He said that the decision was "not easy" but that he believes it is "the right thing for the country." Biden also endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement in the race.

Harris released a statement following Biden's announcement, saying that she is "honored" to have Biden's endorsement and that she is "ready to lead the country." Harris is the first woman and the first woman of color to serve as Vice President of the United States.

Biden's decision to drop out of the race is a major upset in the 2024 presidential campaign. Biden was considered the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination, and his departure from the race will likely open the door for other candidates to enter the contest.
