Per CNBC:

President Joe Biden said Sunday that he will drop out of the 2024 presidential race, a stunning decision that came after weeks of pressure for the 81-year-old Democrat to quit the contest against former President Donald Trump.

“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,” Biden wrote in a post on the social media site X.

“And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” Biden wrote.

“I will speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision.”

The president’s decision blows open the presidential race less than four months before Election Day. It also poses extraordinary questions and challenges for the Democratic party, which now must scramble to assemble a new presidential ticket.

The next candidate will need to compete against the Republican ticket of Trump and Sen. JD Vance, win over donors, delegates and other allies who were loyal to the incumbent — all while convincing voters of their own worthiness for the nation’s highest office.

Per The Post Millenial:

President Joe Biden has dropped out of the presidential race. He made the announcement on X. While he did step out of the race, he did not endorse Kamala Harris. This comes as rumors have swirled that leading Democrats have encouraged him to leave the race in the weeks since his disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump on June 27.

Biden had been adamant that he would continue the race despite the backlash against him from within his own party. However, the chorus of Dems calling for him to “pass the torch” hit a crescendo over the weekend with a protest outside the White House where voters gathered to encourage him to step aside.

“My Fellow Americans,” he wrote, “Over the past three and a half years, we have made great progress as a Nation.

“Today, America has the strongest economy in the world. We’ve made historic investments in rebuilding our Nation, in lowering prescription drug costs for seniors, and in expanding affordable health care to a record number of Americans. We’ve provided critically needed care to a million veterans exposed to toxic substances. Passed the first gun safety law in 30 years. Appointed the first African American woman to the Supreme Court. And passed the most significant climate legislation in the history of the world. America has never been better positioned to lead than we are today.”
