The incumbent US president Joe Biden has withdrawn from the presidential race for a second term in office. Biden made the statement in X:
Biden had been under pressure since his poor showing at the first presidential debate with Donald Trump where he appeared to have several "senior moments". His age had been under scrutiny by the right-wing press in the US for some time, but since the debate Democrats and donors have been calling for his resignation from the race.
Biden has given his support to his running mate Kamala Harris to be the Democratic candidate now. Harris appears to have been loyal to Biden to the last:
