The current Democratic President of the United States, 81-year-old Joe Biden, announced on Sunday, July 21, 2024, his withdrawal from the candidacy for the presidential election scheduled for November 2024.
“It has been the great honor of my lifetime to serve as President. And, while my intention is to seek re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and my country for me to step down and focus solely on performing my duties for the remainder of my term,” Joe Biden wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
He said he now supports the candidacy of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Joe Biden has thus joined a very limited club of outgoing US presidents who have conceded defeat when seeking reelection, LeMonde reported. But he is the first to do so late in the campaign. And the only one who had to give up due to mental acuity issues.
