In a shocking move, President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he is ending his re-election campaign and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him at the top of the Democratic ticket. The decision comes amid intense pressure from within his own party and growing doubts about his ability to lead the nation.
Biden’s withdrawal has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, with Republicans demanding “proof of life” and questioning the circumstances surrounding his decision. The former president, Donald Trump, who is running again for the Republican nomination, has been uncharacteristically silent on the matter, while his allies have launched a barrage of attacks on the Biden administration.
Despite his accomplishments in office, including significant legislative achievements and his defeat of Trump in 2020, Biden’s presidency has been overshadowed by recent lapses and the growing calls for him to step down. His inability to sustain support due to age-related frailty has led to his humbling exit from politics.

The Biden for President campaign committee has been renamed the Harris for President committee, maintaining the Biden team’s infrastructure, staff and $98 million in cash reserves. Democrats excited about a new ticket have donated tens of millions of dollars online to the Harris for President campaign.
As Biden reflects on his unfinished work and the looming specter of a loss, he acknowledges the complexities of his legacy and the mixed reception he received from voters[5]. Despite the challenges and criticisms, history may judge his presidency more favorably, recognizing his contributions and the unique circumstances he navigated during his time in office.
