WASHINGTON: US President Joe Biden on Sunday dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, bowing to enormous stress from the Democratic Party.
In a statement posted on X Biden, Biden stated that while it had been his intention to run for president,” I believe it is in the best interest of my group and the state for me to stand down and concentrate solely on fulfilling my obligations as President for the majority of my term.”
He thanked Kamala Harris for being an “extraordinary lover,” but he did not support her as the party nominee for president in the first declaration he posted on X, which included a promise to address the audience afterwards in the week.
However, he claimed Kamala Harris ‘ choice as the party nominee for 2020 in a follow-up article on X, calling it” the best choice I’ve made” and adding,” Now I want to give my full support and support for Kamala being the nomination of our celebration this time.” ” Democrats- it’s time to travel up and beat Trump. This complete this”, he said.
This may, among other things, create Kamala Harris the second non-white woman and the first Indian-American candidate for the US president if the rest of the party accepts Biden’s support and confirms her as the candidate.
Just 106 days remain until November 5th, the election time. No leader has left the contest so abruptly.
Elections in the US are a different story immediately, with candidates required to raise millions in revenue to woo voters in a nation four times India’s length, compared to 106 days in other democracies like India, UK, and Israel, which you run campaigns and carry polls in a matter of days or weeks.
Political Party grandees and leaders may then begin the process to select Biden’s replacement with Harris best placed to triumph, especially after the President’s support.
