The Hill: Biden withdraws from race in presidential earthquake

Never touch a stranger…

President Biden has dropped out of the 2024 race, a stunning end to a 50-year-long political career that culminated in caving to pressure from fellow Democrats to end his bid for reelection, which never fully recovered from an abysmal debate performance on June 27, ‘The Hill’ informs.

Biden, 81, announced Sunday he will no longer seek another four years in office after his physical and mental acuity were called into question following a prime-time debate in which he struggled to finish sentences, gave confused looks and fumbled through his answers.

The president said he would address the nation later in the week about his decision. He later endorsed Vice President Harris to be the party’s nominee in November.

Biden withstood weeks of mounting pressure from his party, vowing to stay in the race so strongly that at one point he suggested only “the Lord Almighty” could convince him otherwise.
