United States President Joe Biden has stepped aside from the presidential race. In a brief statement on Sunday, the 82-year-old said his decision was in the interest of the country and his party.
Biden then endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential race.
The president wrote on his official X handle Sunday evening, “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.”
