President Biden is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race.
This comes after Democratic leaders for weeks have expressed concerns about the 81-year-old’s mental fitness and his path to victory over Donald Trump.
Biden was diagnosed with COVID on Wednesday, and has been in self-isolation at his beach house in Delaware.
“I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” Biden said on X. “My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump.”
The Democratic National Convetion to nominate the party’s candidate for president is scheduled to be held August 19th through the 22nd.
