Biden Makes Stunning Decision to Pull Out of 2024 Race
Democratic Party Plunged into Scramble to Anoint New Candidate
First Incumbent President to Drop Out Since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968
In a shocking turn of events, President Joe Biden has announced that he will not seek re-election in 2024. The decision, made after weeks of speculation and pressure from within the Democratic Party, leaves the race against Donald Trump in turmoil.
No sitting president has dropped out of a race so late in the election cycle in American history. Biden is the first incumbent president to drop out since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968, who withdrew from the race against Richard Nixon.
Biden's decision plunges the Democratic Party into an unprecedented scramble to anoint a new standard-bearer. With just over a year until the election, the party is facing a crowded field of potential candidates and a short time frame to unite behind a single nominee.
The president's decision has sent shockwaves throughout the political establishment and has left many speculating about the reasons behind it. Some have suggested that Biden's declining approval ratings and the recent victories by Republicans in the midterm elections may have played a role in his decision.
