Joe Biden has decided to end his campaign for re-election and nominate Kamala Harris, the current Vice President, as the Democratic candidate, citing the need to focus on his presidential duties. This decision follows scrutiny over his health and mental acuity, especially after a recent bout with COVID-19 and a lackluster debate performance.
“While it has been my intention to seek re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus entirely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term,” stated Biden.
