President Biden has ended his campaign for president, vacating his spot at the top of the Democratic ticket and opening the way for an alternative candidate to step in and run against former President Donald J. Trump in November.
President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race for the White House on Sunday, ending his bid for reelection after a disastrous debate with Donald Trump that raised doubts about the incumbent’s fitness for office with the election just four months away. It was a late-season campaign thunderstrike unlike any in American history.
Whether President Joe Biden bows to the growing chorus of elected Democrats and Democratic voters calling for him to exit the 2024 race, or continues to seek a second term as a visibly frail 81-year-old, suddenly everyone is taking another good hard look at Kamala Harris.
