Why did Joe Biden withdraw from US presidential race?

Shockwaves through US politics were caused by US President Joe Biden's announcement on sunday that he will not running for reelection against former president donald trump in the forthcoming US election of 2024. Following his announcement of his resignation, Joe Biden supported Vice President Kamala harris as the Democratic Party's nominee for president. Joe Biden's dismal debate performance against donald trump and the Republican Party's constant taunting of him for his "inability" to serve another term as president led to his decision to withdraw from the presidential contest. Numerous Democratic politicians urged Joe Biden to drop out of the race for president following the catastrophe in the debate.

What took place in the final hours prior to Joe Biden's withdrawal?

Vice President Kamala harris was the first person to receive a call from Joe Biden on sunday, announcing his withdrawal from the race for reelection, according to The Washington Post. Additionally, Joe Biden had one-on-one meetings with Jen O'Malley Dillon, his campaign chair, and white house Chief of Staff Jeff Zients.

In order for the US president to brief the white house and Joe Biden's campaign staff on his choice, Zients scheduled a meeting for 1:45 p.m. At about 2:30 pm on sunday, the chief of staff formally said the same to every member of the white house staff.

Over the course of several meetings at the president's vacation home over the weekend, Biden made his decision in consultation with White House counselor Steve Ricchetti, senior campaign adviser Mike Donilon, deputy chief of staff Annie Tomasini, and senior adviser to first lady Anthony Bernal, according to The Washington Post.

Joe Biden's reelection bid was ended; why?

After his disastrous june 27 debate performance against donald trump, there were increasing calls for Joe Biden to resign as the US presidential candidate. The American president attributed his lackluster performance to jet lag and foreign trips, but the Democratic Party's grassroots members pushed him to withdraw from the contest.

Over the past week, there has been a growing opposition to Biden's campaign inside his party. Thirty-six congressional Democrats, or more than one in eight, have publicly called on him to withdraw due to concerns about his mental health, according to Reuters.
