Joe Biden Quits 2024 U.S. Presidential Race Amidst Rising Pressure

President Joe Biden has made the unexpected decision to withdraw from the upcoming presidential race, following considerable pressure from key political allies. This decision, marks a significant shift in the political landscape as Biden, aged 81, steps down to focus on his current presidential duties for the remainder of his term.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Thursday Times)—In a stunning and unprecedented move, President Joe Biden has announced his resignation from the presidential race, citing both personal health concerns and mounting pressure from influential Democratic figures. This decision, marks a significant shift in the political landscape as Biden, aged 81, steps down to focus on his current presidential duties for the remainder of his term.

Statement from Joe Biden:

“My Fellow Americans,

Over the past three and a half years, we have made significant strides as a nation. Today, America boasts the strongest economy in the world. We’ve made historic investments in rebuilding our nation, lowering prescription drug costs for seniors, and expanding affordable health care to unprecedented levels. We’ve provided critical care to a million veterans exposed to toxic substances, passed the first gun safety law in 30 years, appointed the first African American woman to the Supreme Court, and enacted the most substantial climate legislation in history. America has never been better positioned to lead than we are today.

None of these achievements would have been possible without the unwavering support of the American people. Together, we overcame a once-in-a-century pandemic and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We’ve protected and preserved our democracy and revitalised our global alliances.

It has been the greatest honour of my life to serve as your President. While I initially intended to seek re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of our party and our country for me to stand down and dedicate myself to fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.

I will address the nation later this week to provide more details about my decision. For now, I extend my deepest gratitude to all those who have worked tirelessly for my re-election. I thank Vice President Kamala Harris for being an extraordinary partner in our efforts, and I express my heartfelt appreciation to the American people for their faith and trust in me.

I firmly believe, as I always have, that there is nothing America cannot achieve when we work together. We must remember that we are the United States of America.”

 

The announcement has prompted varied reactions from across the political spectrum. Prominent Democrats, including former President Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, had expressed concerns about Biden’s candidacy, urging him to reconsider for the sake of the party’s future. Republican figures have also responded, with a mix of calls for unity and critiques of Biden’s policies.

Vice President Kamala Harris, who is set to assume an even more pivotal role, has pledged to continue the administration’s work, emphasizing the importance of unity and perseverance in the face of challenges.
