President Joe Biden has dropped out of the presidential race days after former President Donald Trump was formally selected as the candidate of the Republican Party.
Biden faced calls by top Democrats and donors in recent days following his poor performance in a debate with Trump. Biden who was diagnosed with COVID-19 had insisted that he wouldn’t drop from the race but he has now made the decision to leave the race to his Vice, Senator Kamala Harris.
President Biden announced his decision via X.
See letter bellow:
Following the letter, President Biden tweeted is endorsement of VP Harris, saying: “My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this”.
