Joe Biden has announced that he is withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race, endorsing Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee. Biden cites his party and the country's interests as the reasons for his withdrawal.

His decision comes after a disastrous debate performance and mounting pressure from supporters and donors. While Harris is expected to be the nominee, the transition remains uncertain.

Biden initially planned to serve only one term and be a 'bridge' to the next generation. This withdrawal raises questions about the replacement candidate and the impact on the Democratic Party.

The attempted assassination of former President Trump also adds further chaos to the campaign. Biden's withdrawal has implications not only for the Democrats but also for the Republicans, as Trump has made the age and health of his rivals a focal point of his campaign.

The decision to step down shakes up the race just weeks before the election, leaving little time for the Democrats to regroup and build support for a new candidate. The withdrawal also raises concerns about voter enthusiasm and the potential for voter turnout in the upcoming election.
