This announcement completely upended the 2024 campaign and set the Democrats on an unprecedented course to replace him. On Sunday, July 21, 2024, the president made his momentous announcement and promptly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.

President Joe Biden’s Statement 

In a statement to the American people published on social media, Joe Biden stated. “Serving as your president has been the greatest honor of my life.” “And while I have intended to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down. Also, to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term.”

After receiving intense criticism from fellow Democrats for his dismal June debate performance against former President Donald Trump, Joe Biden announced his resignation on Sunday, July 21, 2024.

According to experts, Democrats’ best chance of defeating Trump now is to unite behind a fresh contender and rekindle their support base. Kamala Harris, the vice president, is the early frontrunner to succeed Biden, particularly now that the president has endorsed her. Additionally, Biden urged supporters to give to Harris’s campaign.

Details on the Statement Released by Joe Biden Administration 

In a tweet shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, Joe Biden, 81 years old, revealed the news. Our country has advanced significantly in the last three and a half years. The American economy is the strongest in the world right now.

Joe Biden said, “We’ve made historic investments in our country’s reconstruction, in seniors’ prescription drug costs, and in providing affordable health care to an unprecedented number of Americans.” 

“We have given a million veterans who were exposed to harmful toxins the desperately required care. The first gun was enacted by safety legislation in three decades. Made the first female African American Supreme Court nominee, and enacted the most important climate legislation in global history.”

Joe Biden Expressed His Gratitude

“America has never been better positioned to lead than we are today,” Joe Biden said. Acknowledging that “I know none of this could have been done without you, the American people.” Together, we surmounted the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression as well as a once-in-a-century epidemic. We have rebuilt and revitalized our international connections while defending and preserving our democracy.”

Furthermore, he stated, “Although it has always been my goal to run for reelection. I feel it would be best for my party and the nation if I stepped down and concentrated only on carrying out my presidential duties for the balance of my term.

Kamala Harris To Run Against the Opponents

Nevertheless, Biden’s choice to step down is not only strange; but unheard of in US politics. “This is new ground for us,” stated Kyle Kondik, managing editor of the University of Virginia Centre for Politics’ election-related periodical Sabato’s Crystal Ball. 

Additionally, in the upcoming days, Harris might run against opponents vying for the Democratic candidature. At the Democratic National Convention in Chicago the following month, almost 4,000 delegates, party officials and activists will vote to select the next nominee.

Joe Biden Approval Ratings 

Concerns regarding Joe Biden’s capacity to serve a further four years as the oldest president in American history he would have been 86 years old when he left office have been voiced frequently. In a July 17 AP-NORC poll, it was found that 77% of independent voters and nearly two-thirds of Democrats supported Biden’s withdrawal from the contest.

Joe Biden’s hand was finally forced by an increasing pressure campaign from his party members. Exacerbated worse by threats from powerful Democratic contributors.

President Joe Biden To Address the Nation

Joe Biden stated that he will “speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision.” He stated, “For now, let me express my deepest gratitude to all those who have worked so hard to see me reelected.” “I express my gratitude to Vice President Kamala Harris for her exceptional collaboration throughout this endeavor.

“Lastly, I would like to thank the American people from the bottom of my heart for their confidence and trust in me.” “I still think the same thing I always have: that when we work together, there is nothing America can’t do. The United States of America is who we must always keep in mind.”

Joe Biden’s suitability for a second term was questioned almost immediately after his inauguration. However, the Democratic President carried out his reelection campaign, adamant that he was not abandoning his political career. Also, his first term as president demonstrated his ability to guide the country through difficult times, especially in the face of Republican extremism.
