In the face of increasing pressure from the Democrats, as well as questions regarding his abilities, Joe Biden said that he will suspend his 2024 re-election bid. Biden declared that it had been an honor to serve as president. He also stated that it was in the best interests of the Democratic Party and of the country for him to stand down. He will focus on his duties for the remainder of his term. Biden will formally address the nation later this week.<\/p>\n

President Biden announced Sunday that he will suspend his 2024 re-election campaign amid mounting pressure from his Democratic colleagues on Capitol Hill, top donors and Hollywood stars after a disastrous debate performance last month.<\/p>\n

The unprecedented announcement came as an increasing number of Democrat lawmakers had begun to publicly call for Biden to step aside and the party’s leadership reportedly was engaged in efforts to convince Biden, 81, he could not win in November’s general election against former President Trump, the 2024 GOP nominee who Biden defeated four years ago to win the White House.<\/p>\n

“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president,” Biden wrote in a public letter. “While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interests of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term.”<\/p>\n

Biden said he will formally address the nation later this week about his decision.<\/p>\n

“For now, let me express my deepest gratitude to all those who have worked so hard to see me reelected,” Biden wrote. “I want to thank Vice President Kamala Harris for being an extraordinary partner in all this work. And let me express my heartfelt appreciation to the American people for the faith and trust you have placed in me.”<\/p>\n

Biden added: “I believe today what I always have: that there is nothing America can’t do — when we do it together. We just have to remember we are the United States of America.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
