Biden drops out: The story in full
President Joe Biden has dropped out of the 2024 race in a seismic decision sparked by a relentless campaign from Democrats demanding he drop out because of his cognitive decline and his dire chances against Donald Trump.
The 81-year-old stepped aside Sunday after facing weeks of questions over his fitness to serve following his disastrous presidential debate performance that sparked a series of fumbles he could not recover from.
His extraordinary move comes after a 50-year career in politics that culminated in the White House.
Biden announced his historic decision in a one-page letter where he committed to completing his term, but not fully endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the replacement.
Now Democrats must race to shore up their campaign behind a new nominee with less than four months until voting day.
'It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,' Biden wrote in a letter posted to his X account on Sunday.
'And while it has been my intention to seek reelection,' he went on, '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.'
