In a stunning turn of events just a week after a failed assassination attempt on the life of former President Trump, current president Biden drops out of the race for President of the United States.

US President Joe Biden has ended his re-election campaign and endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris to succeed him as the Democratic candidate.

Intense Race

In a remarkable set of events which led to Biden’s decision to drop out of the race, now putting a twist in an already intense race for the White House.

President Biden, who is currently 81 years of age, presented a written letter in which he politely bowed out of the presidential race while promoting his VP for the role.

Biden’s drop out announcement caps a tumultuous time in US politics, that has seen violence hit the street from protests and incitements from American leadership.

Many speculate Biden’s troubles began with his poor debate performance against Donald Trump, where he clearly showed he was incapable of even holding his attention.

It was only days after the failed assassination attempt of his rival Donald Trump, that Biden went into quarantine hiding claiming he had caught the covid virus.

In light of the drop out announcement, President Biden has insisted he will remain president until the end of his term.

Endorsed By Biden

In Biden’s letter to the American people he states that it was the “greatest honour” to serve the American people.

However Biden also confirmed that dropping out of the Presidential race was “in the best interest of the party and the country”.

The news from Biden comes as many in the Democratic party called for him to “pass the torch”, even creating a television campaign wit the same mantra.

Kamela Harris, who turns 60 in October, said that she was “honoured” to be endorsed by Biden and that she would carry the torch.

Harris also cemented her place in the election confirming her plan to “earn and win this nomination” then move forward to unite America against Trump.

“We have 107 days until election day,Together, we will fight. And together, we will win.” – VP Kamela Harris

Although VP Harris has been picking up some endorsements, she has yet to be officially nominated by the Democratic Party.

The Democratic National Convention in August will be a huge event for the party and most likely the opening scene for a Presidential candidate nominee.

Gaining Popularity

Trump has been gaining popularity from his reaction to the failed assassination attempt which has pulled him ahead in polling over Biden.

Biden possibly concerned with his recent covid infection or possibly receiving polling numbers showing less approval may have been triggered to withdraw his candidacy.

Trump was confirmed his ticket as the Republican nominee for the next American Presidential election.

He stamped his ticket at the party’s convention in Milwaukee while also naming his VP candidate JD Vance.

The event came only five days after Trump survived an assassination attempt on his life, dramatically changing the direction of the election and potentially being the force that made Biden drop out.

Not Fit to Run

After the releases of Mr Biden’s decision, Trump declared Biden “was not fit to run… and is certainly not fit to serve”.

In light of the statements by Trump, senior Republicans joined the criticism, and called on President Biden to step down from his role as President immediately.

As wars in in Ukraine and Israel Intensify, the next 6 months for Biden may not end up being a walk in the park as he may expect.
