Biden Drops Out of 2024 Race
Stunning Decision Plunges Dems Into Scramble
Biden, 81, Faced Age and Trump Questions
President Joe Biden, 81, has dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, plunging the Democratic Party into disarray and throwing the contest into chaos. Biden's decision, which he announced on Sunday, comes after months of relentless pressure from his own party and facing questions about his age and ability to defeat former President Donald Trump.
Biden's withdrawal leaves the Democrats without a clear frontrunner and sets the stage for a potentially divisive primary season. The president's decision also gives Republicans a major boost, as Trump is now the heavy favorite to win the GOP nomination.
In a statement, Biden said he had decided to withdraw from the race after "carefully considering" his age and the challenges facing the country. He said he believed the Democratic Party could defeat Trump without him and urged Democrats to unite behind a single candidate.
Biden's decision is a stunning reversal of fortune for a president who was once considered a shoo-in for re-election. However, his approval ratings have plummeted in recent months, and he has faced growing pressure from his party to step aside.
Biden's withdrawal from the race is a reminder of the challenges facing the Democratic Party. The party is deeply divided, and there is no clear consensus on who should replace Biden. The primary season is likely to be contentious, and the party may struggle to unite behind a single candidate.
Biden's decision also underscores the challenges facing the country. The nation is facing a host of problems, including inflation, crime, and the war in Ukraine. The next president will need to be able to address these challenges and lead the country in a positive direction.
