After more than 50 years in public life, President Joe Biden announced on X Sunday that he is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race.
The inevitable decision was made after enormous pressure brought to bear by former President Barack Obama, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, New York Senator Chuck Schumer and even Senator Joe Manchin as late as Sunday with a growing list of democrats and donors called Biden to drop out ever since Biden's dismal debate performance on June 27.
Joe Biden now becomes a lame duck president less than a year from the end of his presidential term.
It was an inevitable decision and required some serious negotiations behind the scenes knowing of the rumors that Jill Biden’s ex-husband is expected to release a book on the Biden family this coming week. The narrative of that book is expected to even contradict the long-held narrative about how and when Joe Biden really met Jill Biden. The standing Biden family narrative was that Joe and Jill met after Joe Biden's first wife and daughter died in an automobile crash in December 1972.
According to Bill Stevenson, Jill Biden's ex-husband, Joe and Jill Biden met in the Biden's kitchen before the car crash. The Biden family narrative has been for decades that Joe and Jill met on a blind date several years after the car crash.
Biden wrote in his statement that he will address the public in a speech about his decision later in the week.
Biden framed his decision as in "the best interest of [his] party and the country."
"It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President," read Biden's statement, which stated he had every intention of seeking reelection.
Stepping aside, the statement reads, will allow Biden "to focus solely on fulfilling [his] duties as President for the remainder of [his] term."
Biden's statement highlighted the milestones of his administration, including appointing "the first African American woman to the Supreme Court" and passing "significant climate legislation."
His statement fell short of passing the mantle to Vice-President Kamala Harris, but the president graciously thanked and praised Harris for being “an extraordinary partner," but later put out a posting on X endorsing Harris.
