President Joe Biden.
The US presidential election is gradually becoming interesting. Joe Biden has withdrawn his candidacy from the presidential election. He himself has announced that he will no longer contest the US presidential election. Along with this, he has supported the name of Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidential candidacy on behalf of the Democratic Party.
US President Joe Biden on Sunday decided to drop out of the election race after constant pressure from the White House and his party allies. There were constant concerns about whether the 81-year-old President Biden would be able to win the election in November.
Let us tell you that the leaders of the Democratic Party were pressuring Biden to withdraw from the race for the last several weeks after his poor performance in the debate with his Republican rival and former President of the country Donald Trump in late June. According to the information, Biden has become the first sitting president to leave the candidacy after Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968. Let us know the main reasons for Biden's withdrawal.
Biden stumbled in live debate
There was a live debate between Republican and Democratic party candidates Donald Trump and Joe Biden, after which there were talks of Biden withdrawing from the presidential race. The reason for this was that Trump appeared to dominate Biden in the live debate. In such a situation, the demand within his own party that Biden should withdraw from this race intensified.
Fatigue on a long trip
Biden traveled twice in 14 days to Europe and the West Coast and then rested for a few days at his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. According to many who saw him during this time, Biden was extremely exhausted by the end of the trip.
Random Answer
Biden's words stumbled and he stuttered in CNN's Atlanta studio, prompting reporters to seek clarification from his aides. While the debate was underway, officials said Biden was not feeling well. Though his voice improved as the debate progressed, his disorganized answers puzzled voters, donors and Democratic officials.
Trump rebukes Biden
At the same time, 78-year-old Trump also claimed during the 90-minute debate that he had actually won the 2020 election, but Biden failed to refute him. At the same time, Trump rebuked Biden. He said that he doesn't really know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don't think he knows what he said.
Demand for Biden to step down
The day after the debate, Biden admitted to a poor performance, saying he knew he was not young. He said on July 2 that he almost fell asleep on stage. Within hours of the debate, demands for Biden to step down began. Angry donors told Biden's aides that they would have to see a change in the candidate's performance. After which senior Democrats and Biden's aides also started hinting at a change in the ticket.
Accepting defeat from Trump
Biden failed to silence dissenting voices. In his first major press conference after the debate on July 5, Biden said only God could take him out of the presidential race. More worrying to some Democrats was that Biden said he could accept losing to Trump but would stay in the race.
Forgot the name of Putin-Zelensky
At the NATO summit in the second week of July, Biden mentioned the names of his Vice President Harris and his Republican rival Trump, and Ukrainian President Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose countries are at war with each other.
Poor performance in surveys
Polls showed Biden trailing other Democrats in several key states and districts. Although polls across the country consistently pointed to a close contest, Biden still believed he was the best candidate to face Trump.
Deadly attack on Trump
Trump was shot while giving a speech in Pennsylvania. The bullet grazed his ear and his face was covered in blood. After which, pictures of the former president clenching his fist were widely publicized. This seemed to turn the atmosphere in the country in favor of Trump.
Biden got corona
Days later, Biden contracted the virus while campaigning in Nevada. While recuperating at his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, he had time to decide whether and how to end his campaign. He eventually withdrew his candidacy, endorsing Kamala Harris.
