President Biden Drops Out of 2024 Race
Biden Faced a Reckoning Over His Age and Ability to Defeat
Biden Abandons Campaign for a Second Term Under Intense Pressure
President Biden abruptly abandoned his campaign for a second term Sunday under intense pressure. The decision plunges the Democratic Party into an uncertain future and throws the 2024 election into disarray.
Biden, 79, has faced mounting criticism over his age and his ability to defeat former President Donald Trump or another Republican challenger. The president's approval ratings have been consistently low, and he has struggled to unite his party behind his agenda.
In recent weeks, speculation had been growing that Biden would withdraw from the race. The president had been facing pressure from within his own party to step aside for a younger candidate. Several prominent Democrats had already announced their intention to challenge Biden in the primary.
Biden's decision to drop out of the race is a stunning development. It is the first time since 1980 that an incumbent president has withdrawn from a reelection campaign. The move is sure to shake up the 2024 election and could have a major impact on the future of the Democratic Party.
