President Joe Biden has made an unexpected decision that he will not be running for reelection in 2024. Concerns about his age and performance during a recent debate have prompted Democrats to question his ability to serve a second term. In a statement released on Sunday, Biden expressed his intention to focus on his duties as President for the remainder of his term.

Biden’s decision has disrupted the anticipated rematch between him and former President Donald Trump. Despite both candidates securing their party’s nominations, Biden’s lackluster debate performance against Trump raised doubts among Democrats about his ability to defeat Trump.

Acknowledging concerns about his age, the 81-year-old Biden assured the public of his qualifications and determination to continue in the race. However, post-debate polling showed Trump gaining a slight lead over Biden, indicating the negative impact of the debate on his campaign.

In a subsequent statement, Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee, emphasizing the need for party unity to defeat Trump. With Biden withdrawing from the race, the spotlight now shines on Harris as a potential replacement.

While the Democratic Party faces internal challenges and calls for a new candidate, the Republican Party has shown a united front during their National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. During his address, Trump emphasized his commitment to represent all Americans and unite the country.
