Joe Biden withdraws from US presidential election

In a press release published on the social network Elections which take place on November 5.

Many Democrats and supporters of Joe Biden doubted the octogenarian’s ability to secure a new presidential term. HAS 81 years oldJoe Biden made a series of slips, slip-ups and showed himself to be “tired” in the face of a formidable opponent and stronger than ever, Donald Trump. While Biden even had difficulty expressing himself, Trump survived an assassination attempt on July 13. It was enough for his supporters who asked him to step down and appoint a successor. At this time, no name has been made official.

“In my interest to withdraw”

It’s now official, Joe Biden is not going to run for a new presidential term: “I believe it is in the best interests of my party and in my best interests to step down and concentrate solely on carrying out my duties as president until the end of my term”he declared in a press release published on X. It must be said that the current President of the United States did not really have a choice in this decision. According to a survey from July 17, approximately 60% of voters Democrats wanted another candidate in place of Joe Biden.

Many of the president’s supporters, including actor George Clooney, expressed serious doubts about Joe Biden’s health. Firstly, during the debate against Donald Trump last June. A debate in which Joe Biden appeared tired and made inaudible remarks in the face of a “conquering” Trump. Secondly, during the NATO summit in Washington. A summit during which he introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him “Putin”. A slippage which occurs while Russia and Ukraine are at war. At the age of 81, the 46th President of the United States announces he is renouncing his candidacy. He will speak this week.
