US President Joe Biden announced on Sunday he was withdrawing from the 2024 US presidential race. "It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president," he said in an online post. "And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and my country for me to stand down." The 81-year-old president has been facing calls to resign since the debate against Donald Trump three weeks ago, where he seemed frail, was struggling to focus, and slurring his words. Before the latest statement on Sunday, however, Biden tried to project defiance and dismissed those calls.

    Biden sees Trump as an existential threat to American democracy. He put his ego aside for the good of the country. You have to respect him for that.

    The news are having a field day this summer, with football EM, OL, Assassination attempt, wold larges IT break down and now Biden stepping down.
  • @evaluateanalysis7974
    A decent man who is a good president. He has now had the sense to realise that it is better to resign his candidacy and give the Democrats a chance to beat Trump.
  • @jellef4704
    He should have never gotten the nomination in the first place for term 1. The DNC is short sighted
  • @thegreatdane3627
    probably the right thing to do. Let's hope they can find someone a little younger instead. No country should be led by someone over the age of 70...
