America's President Joe Biden withdraw from 2024 Presidential Race

Washington, D.C.- According to CNN, President Joe Biden has announced his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, citing the best interests of his party and the nation. The decision comes amid growing concerns about the 81-year-old president's health and stamina, following a series of events that raised doubts about his ability to campaign effectively and govern for another term.

Biden's performance at a June 27 CNN debate, where he appeared frail and unfocused, intensified these worries. The debate, intended to boost his campaign, instead highlighted his vulnerabilities, leading to a significant loss of support from key Democratic figures and donors.

Despite efforts to reassure his base, including attributing his debate performance to jet lag, Biden's campaign struggled to regain momentum. Prominent Democrats, including Rep. Lloyd Doggett and actor George Clooney, publicly urged him to step aside, arguing that the party needed a stronger candidate to challenge former President Donald Trump.

The president's condition further deteriorated with a COVID-19 diagnosis, and even an assassination attempt on Trump did little to shift focus from Biden's challenges. The tipping point came as more lawmakers and influential Democrats questioned his capacity to serve another term.

Biden's exit from the race marks a significant moment in his long political career, which began as one of the youngest senators in US history and concludes as the nation's oldest president. His departure sets the stage for a contentious battle within the Democratic Party to select a new nominee capable of securing victory in the upcoming election.
