President Joe Biden withdraws from 2024 presidential race, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.
After five decades in American politics, President Joe Biden has officially ended his 2024 presidential re-election campaign.
The announcement was released in an official statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, writing 'It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President.
And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.'
The President has since announced his support for current Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic nominee in this year's race.
