Biden announces withdrawal from presidential race
81-year-old Joe Biden has failed to find support among Democrats and is officially withdrawing from the presidential race.
The politician will remain in power until the end of his term and then give way to a new US leader.
On Sunday, July 21, Biden officially announced his withdrawal from the presidential election, which will be held on November 5.
The politician's decision was shared on his official social media pages. The statement said Biden was acting in the interests of the Democratic Party and the country.
The US leader promised to give a more detailed comment on this matter in an address to the nation, which he plans to make in the near future.
The White House also posted a statement about the move. The Biden administration said the United States had made “great progress” over the past three and a half years.
Democrats will now focus on finding a new candidate. Analysts expect the party to nominate Kamala Harris, Biden's vice president.
