President Joe Biden Drops Out of 2024 Presidential Race
Biden Makes Stunning Decision Amid Growing Pressure from Top Democrats
WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he is ending his presidential re-election campaign, a seismic event that will leave the Democratic Party in unprecedented turmoil.
Biden's decision plunges the Democratic Party into an unprecedented scramble to anoint a new standard-bearer, with just over a year to go until the 2024 election.
The president's announcement comes amid growing pressure from top Democrats, who have privately expressed concerns about his age and his ability to win a second term.
Biden's decision is a major setback for the Democratic Party, which had hoped to maintain control of the White House for at least another four years.
The party will now have to find a new candidate who can unite the party and defeat the Republican nominee, who is likely to be former President Donald Trump.
