Biden withdraws 2024 presidential race
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – The 46th U.S. President Joe Biden announced on Sunday ending his reelection campaign due to pressure by fellow Democrats to end his bid following his physical and mental acuity.
Biden wrote in a letter to social media, “I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”
Biden expressed his gratitude to all those who supported him to be reelected, saying, “I want to thank Vice President Kamala Harris for being an extraordinary partner in all this work. And let me express my heartfelt appreciation to the American people for the faith and trust you have placed in me.”
The president acknowledged multiple times after the debate that “he had a bad night, where his aides said he had a cold. He had just returned from a foreign trip, which was blamed for his sickness.”
Biden’s announcement follows a wave of public and private pressure from Democratic lawmakers and party officials to quit the race after his shockingly poor performance in a televised debate last month against Republican rival Donald Trump.
