Biden Ends Reelection Campaign
Political bombshell as Biden pulls out of 2024 race
Harris announces her run for the presidency
WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race on Sunday, following a nearly monthlong pressure campaign mounted by Democratic leaders and party insiders. Biden's decision, announced in a statement released Sunday, is a major political bombshell that sends shock waves through the Democratic party.
Biden's announcement comes after weeks of speculation that he planned to seek a second term. However, the president has faced mounting pressure from within his own party to step aside and make way for a younger candidate.
Vice President Kamala Harris quickly announced her own bid for the presidency following Biden's withdrawal. Harris, who has long been seen as a potential successor to Biden, said she would "earn and deserve the votes of the American people."
Biden's decision to drop out of the race is a major setback for the Democratic party. The president has been a popular figure among Democrats, and his withdrawal leaves the party without a clear frontrunner in the 2024 election.
The political landscape is now wide open, and it is unclear who will emerge as the Democratic nominee in 2024. The Republican party has already begun to line up behind former President Donald Trump, who is widely expected to seek a second term.
